The new powers of school committees for Maori schools were called ‘a very good move’ by Mr W. S. Bestic of Rotokawa, chairman of the Maori schools' committee of the New Zealand Educational Institute. He made this statement during a recent visit to Auckland when he made representations on behalf of the teachers in Maori schools. Among the things the teachers want is official recognition of the Maori language as a school subject in Forms I and II. The committee wants the language taught in Maori schools wherever there is a competent teacher.
