SURPLUS TEACHERS
“COUNTRY LANDED IN MUDDLE’’ DUNEDIN, Thursday. Pointing out . that unemployment among teachers wo if Id be worse next year, Mr Wallace, chairman of the Otago Education Board, submitted a statement contending that the Education Department had landed the country in a muddle through training too many teachers, and that it was now trying to restrict the board to an inadequate rationing scheme. It ivas resolved to send a copy of the statement to the department and other boards, and to ask the latter to agree to a conference to put the matter on a better footing. Mr Wallace said it was evident that the training of more Division C students was unjustified, but the crux of the question was that, the department was committed to keeping one training college open next year, and must find students for the staff. The Government had spent £6OOO more on training this year than it would have done under the board’s scheme, and was now committed to further unnecessary cost. (P.A.)
