Special Section for Education

Te Ao Hou, December 1962, Page 51

Special Section for Education This is the beginning of a regular feature on education which will appear in every issue of Te Ao Hou. It will include sections on pre-school, primary school and, we hope, post-primary school education. We invite contributions from readers who can tell us something about the ways in which their own communities are helping their children—with Play Centres, with homework schemes, and in many other ways. In the next column we publish an article about Play Centres, where pre-school children learn, through play, so much that helps them on their way when they begin at school. There is great interest in Play Centres in Maori communities these days; Mr A. Grey, who is the Director of Supervisor Training in the Auckland Play Centres Association and a lecturer at the Auckland Teachers' College, tells us here just what Play Centres are, and how they can be started.
