All schools should offer technical study
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
The author of a report on technical
studies in Huron County would like one
central school to provide all technical
studies, but suggests that each high school
offer a variety of subjects m this area.
Joe Wooden, principal of Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton authored a
report on the state of technical studies in
Huron County. He presented the report for
information only to the retiring board of
education trustees.
He makes several recommendations in
the report which will be dealt with by the
new school board.
"They're not radical," Wooden says of
the recommendations.
His recommendations include offering a
"package" of subjects and providing in-
dustrial arts and family studies at all
elementary schools in Huron County.
The package could be worked out with
guidance teachers, technical teachers and
the students. The idea, says Wooden, is to
ensure that students take subjects that
relate to one another. An example could be
math, science and drafting.
The high school principal admits that his
suggestion to put industrial arts and fami-
ly studies in all county schools would be
costly.
His recommendations will be looked at
in detail by the school board.
However, there are a lot of problems fac-
ing technical studies offered in high
schools today, says Wooden.
The major problem is the recent
changes to requirements for credits to
earn a diploma. High school students have
to have 34 credits, 16 of which are com-
pulsory. Of the compulsory subjects, only
one has to be a business or technical sub-
ject. Equipment needs, which are expen-
sive, also effect technical studies.
Wooden said that current staff members
shouldn't have to worry about losing their
jobs. He said while that is a problem in
some parts of the province it isn't in
Huron. In general, he sate the technical
studies staff is aging and near retirement
age.
The principal did say that all technical
studies equipment m the schools should be
reviewed and no major purchases made
until the quantity and quality of these is
determined.
Director of education Robert Allan said
work in the technical studies has just
begun.
