They’re made by Savage, specially i, to islature last week. Academie course ratio level r| will remain at 20 to one. The announcement could well mean a cut in the money needed to be raised through tax- ation for Selkirk College this year since estimates udgel were prepared on the 20:1 2 Tal oni In his address, the minister eaid that at the present time, regulations under the Public Schools Act specify that for pur- Pores of computing grants to col- leges ‘an over-all student-staff ratio of 20:1 will apply. “Since experience in our own Institute of Technology has indicated to us that the com- _ | plexity of course content and equipment necessary for desir- able instruction in technical courses js such that a student- staff ratio of 15:1 is more ap- propriate, it is planned that — as far as technical courses are concerned — this ratio will be established for the purpose of | ¥! computing grants to colleges,” the minister continued. “School districts and Re- gional Colleges will, I am sure,” he continued, “welcome this news and, with student-staff ratios being established at 20:1 for academic courses and 15:1 for technical courses, they will be in a better position to pro- vide the desirable instruction levels in all courses which they may offer. In his report the minister also stated that the government will pay salary grants for ele- mentary school teachers on the pees of 36-pupil classes instead The legislation, an. amend- ment to the Public Schools Act, will be introduced this session and takes effect March 31, said Peterson in a budget debate speeth, It will boost the provin- clal share of teacher salary costs. “J am doing this after a great deal of consideration,” he said, “since it means finding approxi- mately another 280 teachers and classrooms in addition to those required for increased enroll- ments. “This is a particularly grave responsibility for me to under- take at this time when we are finding difficulty in keeping up with the completely necessary school construction and in pro- viding all the teachers needed.” The new rule will increase by about 50 the number of ele- mentary teachers who can be hired by the Vancouver school board with the full provincial salary cost-sharing formula_in effect, said .
