Refreshed Courses For School Teachers
.Two hundred and fifty of the best university, post-primary and Education Department lecturers will help to conduct teachers’ refresher courses throughout New Zealand from January 20 to January 26. More than 1100 teachers from practically every post-pi’imary school in the Dominion will attend the courses in addition to many from primary :and private schools. Announcing details of the courses the secretary of the Teachers’ Refresher Course Committee (Mr J. V. Burton) said they were being held for the fifth successive year. When the scheme first started in 1944 only two courses were held. This year 13 courses would operate, while his staff had been increased from none to 12, who were specially recruited for the peak course period from November to January.
North Island courses had to be postponed last year because of the poliomyelitis epidemic.
