GRADING OF SCHOOLS.

ALTERATION IN DATES. [THE PKBBS Sp«el»l Senrtce.] WELLINGTON, October 25. , The Education Department has decided upon a change in the date of the grading of schools for staffing purposes. In future the grading from February Ist in each year will be based on the average attendance of the four quarters ended September 30th instead of on the four quarters ended December 31st as at present. Following are some of tne advantages which it is hoped will be gained from the alteration:— (a) Education Boards would know three months beforehand what the staff of each school would be from February Ist, whereas now the staffing is known only a few days before the schools open. ~ (b) Steps could'be taken to have all new appointments made and increases or reduction of staffs provided-for so that the- teachers could commence'in their new positions from February Ist. Tfce emnloymcnt of a large number of relieving teachers would be avoided with a corresponding increase in the efficiency of the schools. fd) The work of regrading the schools and rearranging the staffs could be done at a time when the Board s staffs wore not busily occupied with other duties as they are now during January. (e) Teachers would know before the holidays what transfers were being made and removals could be made during the holidays. Should the attendance at any school increase during the December quarter so as to require a larger staff, an additional assistant can be provided in accordance with the regulations.
