Less teachers

NZSPA Reporter

Hamilton: The introduction of three-year teacher training courses at the Dun-edin and Hamilton teachers colleges will mean less graduates to the teaching profession next year.

No students will be graduated from these colleges next year.

The district senior inspector of schools for the South

Auckland Education Board (Mr. W. J. Herbert) said that the board had circularised 1042 married women who were former school teachers, and of these 223 had agreed to reenter the profession.

During 1968 these women will be able to fill positions normally occupied by first-year teachers. Ninety-nine of them will teach part time and 175 will relieve.
