EDUCATIONAL POLICY
“CABINET MUST DECIDE” POST-PRIMARY REORGANISATION “"The attitude of the Minister of Education is that alterations in education should be made by Cabinet and then sent for comment to the representatives of the parents,” said Mr. H. S. W. King, at to-day’s meeting of the Auckland Education Board. He reported that a deputation from the Council of Education had waited on the Minister and asked him for a definite statement about the reorganisation of post-primary education. A resolution had been passed that the Minister should be asked to refer the question to the council, boards and educational institute first. The Minister had definitely refused. His attitude had been that Cabinet must decide the policy and not the council. This was of interest to board members, who were interested in decentralisation rather than centralisation.
If the representatives of the parents considered the question first the Minister was convinced that there would be a waste of time. Mr. King thought “the other way about it.” The Minister had promised that conveyance of post-primary children would be put on the same footing as that of primary school children.
