Description
Introduction Division D, a two-year course of concurrent university study and post-primary teacher preparation, was introduced in New Zealand in 1962. It was one of several initiatives aimed at addressing a staffing crisis in secondary schools that had arisen out of expanded participation in post-primary education, the post-war baby boom and other demographic and labour market shifts. The course was designed specifically for bonded recipients of teaching studentships who had not obtained the required number of university passes to retain their financial assistance. Because most of the participants in the scheme would enter the teaching profession as 'trained' undergraduates, the course reflected tensions and debates which had been building steadily since the early twentieth century as to whether university qualifications or professional and practical factors should be given priority in preparing teachers for the secondary service. As a consequence, the course was met with a variety of responses from the education sector.
