349. The increase in the budget for 1920 -21 had led to the hope that the Ministry
of Education would be able to carry out some of the more important parts of its
programme of educational development which had been delayed by the war, notably
the extension of the system of elementary education and the establishment of a
university. But owing to the state of the Government finances in 1921 the projects
of development have had to be postponed or reduced to the smallest dimensions
350. The Ministry is thus not only precluded from providing accommodation
for the ever increasing number of candidates w T ho desire admission to Government
schools and who are consequently obliged to obtain their education at schools which
are often a distinctly inferior type, but has also been obliged to postpone the execu
tion of its building programme. This matter is now of the utmost urgency. During
the war building operations ceased and the needs of the moment were met by the
purchase or hiring of buildings often unsuitable for their purpose, or by confining
schools to premises which they had long outgrown.
