SCHOOL AGE RAISED
EDUCATIONAL REFORM IN ENGLAND. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 25. State grants of fifty per cent., instead of the present twenty per cent., are to be given to the local education authorities in England to enable them to implement the proposed legislation for raising the school leaving age to 15 years. The legislation will come into effect in eighteen months’ time. The Board of Education’s circular explains that this large increase in State assistance to the local authorities is to ensure the rapid provision of suitable accommodation. The Board does not anticipate * any shortage of suitable teachers, and thinks some of those now unemployed could be absorbed, while others about to retire could be retained, and married women teachers in suitable cases recalled.
