Education

A new portfolio which has laid a solid foundation for future work. With this representation students need to become more aware of what they can do in respect to the extension and effectiveness of the education system which they enjoy. Liaison with staff has produced much useful co-operation in the formulation of plans for vacation research scholarships (at present hampered by the lack of funds), circulation of essays to increase awareness of techniques and abilities to be utilised, and a survey of languages carried out by the Asian Studies Society.

Considerable work has been carried out into the study of bursary anomalies and major projects currently under way nclude a survey of New Zea-land education. The commit-tee has been hampered by the reluctance of students to appreciate the worth of working in this field and to present grievances and ideas for consideration. After all, as the people being educated, students should have many views on the effectiveness of their training and the worth of courses being offered, as a contribution to the community in which they live and work.
