EFFICIENCY OF TEACHERS.
MINISTER’S RECENT REMARKS. By Telegraph —Press Association Wellington, Oct. 21. At the jneeting of the executive of the New Zealand Educational Institute last night consideration was piven to the recent Press Association telegram from Te Awamutu to the effect that the Minister of Education had said in opposition to the proposal 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 condensation of his remarks resulted in his views not being correctly or adequately given. His statement that “Teaching in probably half the schools was not as efficient as it 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 1500 un certificated teachers in the service, and further, so long as a certain proportion even of the certificated teachers was unsatisfactory. He referred mainly to the teachers in grades 0, 1 and 2.
