[No. 69

(d) The class in which it is proposed to place each pupil in consequence
of the results of the annual examination, taken in conjunction
with those of the other periodical examinations and with the
general character of his work during the year:
(e) A general estimate of the quality of the work done by each class:
(f) A summary showing the number of pupils on the roll of each class,
the number present at the time of the examination in English,
the aggregate ages as on the 31st of December, and the average
age of the pupils in each class.
(g) A summary showing for each class the number of pupils in the various
years of their school life.
(5) For pupils of Form II, the form that has been previously used in the
case of candidates for Certificates of Proficiency will suffice.
(6) The same standards of appraisement of the pupils’ work shall as
far as possible be adopted throughout New Zealand, and to this end the
teacher shall follow the directions and standards laid down by the Director
of Education or, with his authority, by the Senior Inspector.
(7) The Inspector may return the copy of the class-lists of the annual
examination to the head teacher, and require him to note in the column for
remarks the reason for the more or less rapid promotion of any pupil, or
to give an explanation in the case of any pupil whose age is much above the
average age of the pupils in that class for New Zealand, and to forward such
of the examination-papers as the Inspector may desire. The Inspector
may modify the classification of the pupils in any way that appears to him
desirable.
(8) If it appears to the Inspector that the report of the annual examination
is complete and in order, he shall at his next visit to the school sign the school
record thereof in the examination register, and make any comment he may
deem necessary. The record so signed shall be kept in the school in the
manner herein prescribed.

DUTIES OF ASSISTANT TEACHERS.

5. (a) It shall be the duty of every assistant teacher to carry out the
   instructions of the head teacher in regard to all matters that come within
   the scope of these regulations. Should he at any time consider that any
   instructions or directions he has received from the head teacher are unreason-
   able, he may appeal therefrom to the Senior Inspector, but shall in the
   meantime carry out such instructions. The Senior Inspector may at his
   discretion report the matter to the Education Board.
   (b) All assistant teachers will be expected to take part in such school
   activities as may be organized by the head teacher, and in particular shall
   take a reasonable share of responsibility in respect to school games and
   playground supervision.

SCHOOL RECORDS.

6. (1) The class registers and the records of examinations, together with
   copies of the Inspector’s reports, shall be carefully preserved by the head
   teacher until their destruction is authorized by the Minister of Education,
   and in the case of the closing of the school shall be delivered up to the
   Education Board. The teacher’s annual examination report, signed by the
   Inspector, shall be kept in the Education Board’s office. The schemes of
   work and the programmes of work shall be the property of the Education
   Board, and shall not be removed from the school except with the Board’s
   consent.
   (2) All school records, including the Inspector’s reports, shall be open
   at any reasonable time, except during the ordinary school hours, to the
   inspection of the School Committee, but they shall in all other respects be
   treated as strictly confidential, and shall not be removed from the school
   except by the authority of the Education Board.

INSPECTION.

7. (1) Every public school shall, as a general rule, be visited annually
   by an Inspector of Schools. No notice of any visit shall in general be
   given unless the Inspector deems it advisable to hold a more or less detailed
   examination of the pupils, in which case ten days’ notice shall be given.
   After one of his visits in each year the Inspector shall present to the
   Education Board an “inspection report,” but a special report may be pre-
   sented after any visit.
   (2) Where the Senior Inspector decides that a school of Grade I or
   higher grade need not be visited during the year, either for the purpose of
   grading the teachers or for the general purposes of inspection, he shall
   report the matter to the Education Board and to the Director of Education,
   and shall file the explanation along with the inspection reports.
