TEACHERS’ APPEAL BOARD

Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 18. The New Zealand Educational Institute to-day passed the following resolution: "That in view of the fact that at least one Board has frequently violated the spirit of the Education Act in the matter of appoinments by (1) appointing teachers lower on the graded list than other applicants without giving good reasons; and (2) that somp Boards had either deliberately or perhaps unwittingly broken the letter of the law by making no appointments after calling for applications; (,3) appointing temporarily a teacher withoitf a certificate when an applicant on the graded list had applied, and by making appointments without first calling for applications, the conference emphatically protests against such procedure, which frustrates the operation of a grading scheme as a basis for promotion, and requests the Minister to take steps for the establishment of a Teachers’ Appointment Appeal Boaid to give an opportunity fo>j aggrieved persons having the appointments revised.
