SCHOOL INSPECTORATE
RECENT APPOINTMENTS DOUBT AS TO QUALIFICATIONS EXPRESSED PA WELLINGTON, May 14. The qualifications of some of the appointee's to the primary schools inspectorate were discussed at yesterday’s
conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute. The discussion followed a motion that the Education Department be asked to discuss with the institute the organisation of and appointments to the primary schools inspectorate. Mr A. L. Ferguson (Auckland) said a number of people were disturbed about recent appointments to the inspectorate. In the past, the inspectors were generally teachers of a number of years’ experience, but some of the recent appointments, he said, had given
rise to some misquiet as there was some doubt that the men had the necessary qualifications. At this stage the conference went into committee and after resuming open meeting adopted the motion.
