General Graded List of Teachers.

Education Department,
Wellington, 21st June, 1918.

THE following general graded list of teachers is issued, in accordance with regulations made by Order in Council of the 17th December, 1917, under the authority of the Education Act, 1914.

Included are the names of all certificated teachers who were employed in public schools or Native schools on the 31st December, 1917, and of such other certificated teachers who made special application to be graded in accordance with Regulation 3.

It was found impossible in some cases to obtain sufficient information on which to grade some of those who applied specially to be graded.

Superannuated teachers temporarily re-employed and holders of certificates who are not intending to re-enter the service have not been graded, though their names are included in Part I of the list of certificated teachers.

The names of teachers are placed below in order of merit according to the total marks awarded. “Graded No.” 1 indicates the teachers who received the highest total marks; “Graded No.” 4 the teachers receiving three marks less than those with “Graded No.” 1; “Graded No.” 5, 6, and 7 the teachers receiving four, five, and six marks respectively less than those under “Graded No.” 1; “Graded No.” 51 the teachers receiving fifty marks less than those with “Graded No.” 1; and so on. The names of teachers who receive the same total number of marks in the graded list are alphabetically arranged within their group, and the “Graded No.” placed opposite the first name in the alphabetical order is the “Graded No.” of each teacher within the group.

The abbreviations used in the column showing the position of the teacher are as follows: H (head teacher); S (sole teacher); A (assistant teacher); I (infant mistress of schools of Grade Vc to Grade VII); D (assistant in secondary departments of district high schools).

The education districts in which teachers are graded are shown under the heading “District.”

In accordance with clause 16 of the regulations each teacher is being supplied with the separate marks on which his grading was determined, such information to be treated as confidential.

Attention is hereby drawn to clause 17 of the regulations, under which any teacher who considers that he has a good ground of objection to the position assigned to him on the graded list may, not later than the 31st July, 1918, lodge an appeal by letter directed to the Director of Education, Wellington, giving the grounds on which the appeal is based.

The alphabetical list of certificated teachers published in Part I serves as an index to the graded list.

W. J. ANDERSON,
Director of Education.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
