THE FUTURE OF THE MAORI SERVICE The committee discussed very fully the pros and cons of retaining the Maori Service Schools under the direct administration of the Department. It agreed that ultimately there should be one system of primary education under one form of administration, that of the Education Boards; it also expressed the view that some time would elapse before the Maori people would be ready for such a change and that full consultation with the Maori people themselves would precede any proposal for transfer of control. The Maori Schools were established to meet the special needs of Maori children; where those special needs no longer exist schools should become ordinary public schools. The strong traditional ties that bind many Maori school districts to Departmental administration are recognised.
