OFFICER FOR MAORI EDUCATION The Department and the Committee realised that something should be done to cater for the special needs of Maoris attending public schools. Indeed the education of Maori children sometimes becomes a really acute problem where there is a small minority group in a large school. It was therefore agreed that the Senior Inspector of Maori Schools sould also act as Officer for Maori Education in which capacity he would be responsible to the Director of Education for “the content and effectiveness of Maori education in both Maori and public schools”. Work in public schools would be done through liaison with District Senior Inspectors and with the assistance of Education Board sub committees on Maori education. Encouraging progress has been made in meeting the special needs of Maori children in a large number of public schools.
