TRAINING OF TEACHERS
MINISTER’S NEW SCHEME LOANS TO STUDENTS Press Association WELLINGTON, To-day. The Hon. R. A. Wright, Minister of Education, gave the Educational Institute details of a scheme by which students would be able to enter tbe teaching profession without hardship to themselves or loss to the State. Anyone who had made up his mind to enter a training college would receive ample warning, so that if he did not approve of the new scheme he would be able to take up something else. The expenditure on training colleges this year came to £123,000 —a verv large amount, which was the result of postwar conditions.
The idea was that this system be replaced by making loans in advance to students to carry them through their training, these loans to be repaid by instalments when they became teachers. Tuition would be free. This scheme would meet a number of difficulties the department had to face.
