PROFICIENCY EXAMS.
TEACHERS’ OBJECTION
TO NEW REGULATIONS.
(By Telegraph—Per Press A ssociation)
WELLINGTON, November 4
The alterations in the Proficiency examination regulations were not severe, and .neither was the accrediting system necessarily to be done away with altogether, stated the Minister of Education, Hon. Air Masters, in reply to a deputation of the New Zealand Federation of Teachers, which waited upon him in respect of the proposed changes. He added that he proposed to give the new system a year’s trial, and was not committing himself in any wav.
Mr F. O. Brew, Chairman of the New Zealand Education Institute, asked that the proposed changes he postponed for a year, or that, in each education district, the percentage of the passes in Competency and in Proficiency, taken together, should he maintained, in order to equal the average over the five year period, 192630. Air F. AI. Renner contended that the abolition of accrediting was wholly a retrograde step. The Alinister said he would go into the different points raised, and would give them the consideration due to them.
