EDUCATION SYSTEM
UNIFICATION OF CONTROL [ Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, April 5. A statement that was strongly in favour of unification of control and to that extent welcomed the introduction of the Education Amendment Bill, was made in evidence tendered to the Education Committee of the House of Representatives this afternoon on behalf of the New Zealand Education Boards’ Association. The organisation represents the nine exiting education boards controlling schools which approximately 200,000 children attend. Its evidence was presented by flip chairman of the association Mr W. V. Dyer, a member of the executive. Mr J. Wallace, and the secretary, Mr W. I. de Avoll. Al present native schools were controlled by the Education Department. The association said it believed the administration of these schools could be economically and efficiently carried out by the boards. In many of the public primary schools there was a preponderance of native children and no difficulty had been experienced by the education boards and inspectors in dealing with those children.
