CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS
Sir,—A report of overcrowding at the Leeston Consolidated School appears in your paper to-day.- It states that the children are being taught in an unsuitable iron shed and the committee is to urge the Canterbury Edu cation Board to provide suitable classrooms urgently. Truly an ironical position in these times of building material shortages, when one sees the Irwell. Doyleston. and Lakeside Schools —good, sound buildings—closed, and children conveyed past to be taught in “unsuitable” iron sheds. The same position has arisen in the Lincoln area, where two good school buildings have been closed and children crowded into a central area, where buildings are insufficient to cope with numbers. It would appear that consolidation of country schools at the present and until building materials are more readily available should be abandoned.Yours. etc.. OBSERVER. June 11, 1946.
