STATE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS
Have pupils of private schools the right to compete for scholarships provided from Education Board funds ? The question was raised at a recent meeting of the Southland Education Board, Mr Hanan asking whether it was true that, under new regulations, private schools were shut out from the scholarships. The Chairman replied that it was perfectly true; that schools which did not in any way contribute to scholarship funds had no right to scholarships ; and that if any people chose to remain outside the national system of education, whose benefits were free and known to all, they must take the consequences. Mr Mac Gibbon pointed out that Mr Hanan was striking at the root of the national system of education. Mr Hanan, on the other hand, questioned a policy by which the Board compelled those who wished to go elsewhere to attend State schools, and said he would consider whether he would proceed further by notice of motion.
