EDUCATIONAL.
TEACHERS AND THE MINISTER
At a meeting of the executive of the New Zealand Educational Institute last night, consideration tvas given to a recent Press Association telegram from Te Awamutu to the effect that the Minister of Education had said in opposition to the pro,posal that inspectors’ examinations should be abolished: “Unfortunately more than half of the teachers of the Dominion were not as efficient as they should be, thus largely defeating the .proposal.” Mr Parr explained that the condensation of his remarks resulted in his views not’being correctly or adequately given. His statement, which was “teaching in probably half of the schools was not as efficient as might be,” came as the conclusion of some remarks in which he pointed out that some sort of formal examination must be maintained, so long as we had nearly 1,500 uncertificated teachers -in the service, and, further, so long as a certain proportion, even of certificated teachers, was unsatisfactory. He referred mainly to teachers in grades one and two.
