Report.
56. Bearing in mind this aspect of the Arts Faculty being a continuation of the general education provided in the Colony's secondary schools, we feel strongly that a closer liaison with the Education Department of the Government is desirable.
57. The Director of Education is ex officio a member of the Senate, but, apart from Matricu- lation standards, it is difficult to see how the Medical and Engineering Faculties can be his On the other hand if there is to be a unified general education in the Colony it would seem desirable that he should have a place in the Arts Faculty.
concern.
Resolutions of Senate and Faculties.
The Senate wishes to point out that "liaison" between the Faculty of Arts and the Education Department of the Government has long been established by the practice of appointing as external examiners and as part-time lecturers members of that department.
The Senate, bearing in mind what are the statutory powers of the Boards of the Faculties, is not convinced that the position of the Director of Education, in relation to the Board of the Faculty of Arts, is analogous to that of a repre- sentative of the Government Medical Department in relation to the Faculty of Medicine; because the training of teachers is only part of the work of the Faculty of Arts, whereas the training of doctors is the whole teaching function of the Faculty of Medicine: but on the other hand, the Senate endorses the suggestions, of Paragraph 58, and thinks that the University's Professor of Education should be a member of the Board of Education of the Colony.
Resolutions of Council.
Resolved that closer liaison between the Uni- versity and the Government Education Depart- ment can best be achieved by closer co-operation in the training of graduates and undergraduate teachers in a common institution whereby the teaching resources of the University may be used to a fuller degree than at present and Depart- mental schools much more fully used for demon- stration lessons and for the training of graduate and undergraduate students in the art of teaching.
Resolved that in pursuance of the power of the University under paragraph 7 of Section 4 of the University Ordinance-
(a) at the request of the Education Depart- ment the University should arrange for co-opera- tion with Officers of the Education Department in the inspection of the schools of the Colony from which alone candidates would be admitted to the University Matriculation Examination.
(b) at the request of the Education Depart- ment the University should give facilities to its Professors and Lecturers to inspect and report on the teaching of particular subjects in the schools of the Colony.
