Maori Education Foundation

Mr D. G. Ball, Chairman of the Maori Education Foundation, announced recently that Mr John Jolliff, Secretary since its inception in 1961, had been promoted to a position in the Department of Maori Affairs.

‘Mr Jolliff has been a great support to me and to the members of my Board in his administration of the Foundation's business,’ said Mr Ball. ‘He is widely known and respected throughout the country, particularly in many Maori communities, as a man who has made a real contribution to a most important aspect of education in New Zealand today. While none of us who know him can help but regret his loss to the Foundation, we have some consolation in the knowledge that his skill and experience will continue to be exercised in the interests of the Maori people.’
