EDUCATION CHANGES
PROPOSED CENTRALISATION RESENT AT MEADOWBANK The Meadowbank School Committee held a special meeting this week to consider the reorganisation proposals embodied in the report of the Recess Education Committee. The portion of the report proposing to remove most administrative powers from the present education boards and transfer them to departmental officers. was strongly resented. Tho following resolution was passed u nan imo usly: “The members oC the Meadowbank School Committee strongly affirm, the advisability of avoiding centralisation of the education system in Wellington, believing that this would inevitably lead to the destruction of local interest which has hitherto been a pronounced feature of the primary schools education system of New Zealand.
"We are of the opinion that dealings with departmental officers in Wellington would be a continual source of disappointment and discouragement to school committees as far removed as those of Auckland Province. “We believe that representatives of the people as elected to the Board of Education and school committees are able to administer education needs more sympathetically and efficiently than departmental officers.”
