Excerpt from Cape of Good Hope: Report of the Select Committee on EducationWith regard to salaries, there is no doubt that, compared with what men of similar standing can earn in other professions, the prospects held out by the teaching profession are not very attractive, and it would be greatly in the interest of education if the authorities concerned would take the ques tion of better salaries to teachers into favourable consideration because that will be one of the most effectual means of attracting a fair preportion of our best men to the profession. As regards in security of tenure and liability to interference by parents and managers, your Committee think that the present system, under which the control is vested jointly in the School Committees, School Boards and the Department, ought to be sufiicient guarantee of fair treatment to teachers. Your Committee think that the lack of status in so far as it is a grievance will be, to a considerable extent, minimised if more of our graduates, sup ported as they will be by their academic status, can be induced to enter the teaching profession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
