KEY WORKERS
TRAINING IN DOMINION PLANS OF UNESCO COMMITTEE One of the New Zealand delegates to UNESCO, Mr D. Forsyth, of Dunedin, told the annual conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute yesterday that plans were now being completed in Wellington for persons from other countries to be brought to the Dominion to work in universities and with organisations such as the Plunket Society as a preparation for becoming key workers in their own country. Mr Forsyth, who traversed the work of UNESCO in the course of his address, expressed the opinion that New Zealand should align itself now with one of the recognised world authorities on education, and that it should periodically exchange personnel with some other country as a means of promoting world peace. Mr Forsyth said that UNESCO recognised the value of education in maintaining peace, and if New Zealand were to establish better relations with another country it must learn to know it better. There would, however, be no major results in an easy way for UNESCO, but if it failed H would be a glorious failure.
