Huronr is saun
The Huron County education
system is basically sound accord-
ing to an evaluation report
released Tuesday but it needs
someone to offer some directi6n
and goals for educators in Huron,
jay Lockerbie, project co-ordina-
tor for the ministry of education,
told the Huron County Board of
Education Tuesday.
Summarizing an evaluation
report on the Huron education
system, Mr. Lockerbie, along
with Exeter Public School
principal Jim Chapman, told the
board that the general climate in
the education system was good
and there were many strengths in
the system but added that there
were areas that needed improve-
ment. He said that improvements
needed "were not necessarily
weaknesses" but were things that
could be done to make the system
that much better.
45 Pages
Mr. Lockerbie presented the
board with a 45 page draft of the
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Webster
of Blyth were guests of the
members of the Afternoon Unit at
the September meeting of the
U,C.W. and gave an interesting
and informative account of their
visit at Alma College Summer
School. Of particular interest was
a Skit entitled "The Lord's
Prayer."

final report representing about
six months work, managed by he
and Mr. Chapinan. The evalua-
tion was commissioned by the
board in February and was to be
done on the Exeter family of
schools. The Exeter area was
chosen because of its unique
geography in that six elementary
scbools, one school for the
retarded all feed 'into South
Huron Secondary School in
Exeter. The board hoped that by
completing the evaluation on the
Exeter schools it could get a good
impression of how the education
system was performing across the
county. •
Mr. Lockerbie said 'that if he
had to pick out the one area that
seemed to be troubling most
people in education it would be
the goals of education. He said
some teachers are wondering
what they're achieving and what
their goals should be. The system
could use some human resources
to work with teachers to lay down
a firm philosophy for education,
he said.
He said he was generally
impressed with the system in.
Huron. He said, morale seemed to
be high. He claimed that most
professionals were concerned and
dedicated to education and that
no one working on the evaluation
found someone that didn't care.
Long Process
The evaluation was a long
process. He said the first step was
an internal evaluation completed
by teachers, students and parents
directly involved with education.
The people were questioned,
surveyed and asked for opinions
and the information catalogued.
From there a group of profession-
als from outside the county came
to Exeter and visited,.,schools,
surveyed teachers, students and
parents and compiled their find-
ings in an external report.
U.C.W. will be held on
September 20 following a Pot
Luck Supper.
,The men then compared the
two reports and wrote alinal draft
for the board. Mr. Lockerbie said
the final, draft was the only valid
material. He said the internal, and
external reports were for back-
ground information only, adding
that anywhere the two reports
Agreed or anything that kept
recurring in the two was put in
the final draft as a recommenda-
tion or opinion.
•
The co-ordinator said the real
purpose of the'exercise was not to
compare the Huron system with "
another board' but to take a look at
educat
-
ion in this county to see if it
meets 'the standards the public
and professionals want it to. He
said that by doing the evaluation '
itself the board and professionals
in the system would more readily
accept the results and would have\
a better idea of what was needed
for improvement.
Useful
He said the evaluation should
be, useful to the entire county
despite the fact that only one
section of it was examined. He
said people in other areas of the
county could look at the report
and offer their own conclusions
pointhig out that much of what
was discovered in the Exeter
family of schools could be true for
schools in the north of Huron.
John Cochrane, director of
education, told the board that the
senior, executive administrators
hoped to, take a good look at the
evaluation with the intention of
offering the board methods of
implementing recommendations
contained in it. He said he would
eventually like to see copies of the
report go to all professionals in
the system for a broader opinion
of education in Huron.
