Region of the Ministry of Educ-
ation. This region covers thirt-
een jurisdictions in Bruce, Grey
Huron -Perth, Wellington,
Waterloo, Oxford and Brant
Counties.
Mr. Johnston said the replies
from Huron -Perth Separate
School area generally supported
the opinion of the entire region
and gave as an example almost
unanimous support for compul-
sory subjects --English, Math-
ematics, and Science.
Mr. Johnston said in the
Huron -Perth area there was
strong support, 66 per cent,
compared to 57 per cent across
the region, for Family Life
program to be taught in the
schools. Huron Perth supported
French as a compulsory subj-
ect 80 per cent, while support
across the region for French was
47 1/2 per cent.
It was pointed out too that
in the Huron -Perth region there
was firm support for the whole -
year system of school which
is used now in most schools
rather than trimester or four
quarter system.
Huron -Perth strongly support-
ed having students of varied
abilities and achievements in
all classes in school rather
than streaming --grouping stud-
ents according to ability.
John Vintar, Board Superint-
endent of Education, said the
report of the curriculum review
will be sent to the Ministry of
Education office in Toronto
where it may give a feeling of
the direction that education
may go.
Mr. Vintar, Assistant Super-
intendent Joseph Tokar and
Trustee Howard Shantz all
reported on the conference they
attended on November 20
sponsored by the Ministry of
Education on "Evaluation"
which was attended by 60 dele-
gates across Ontario.
They all agreed on the irrrpor
tante of evaluation --in all
aspects such as the aims and
objectives of policy, curriculun
programming, teachers, trustee
administration. They believed
the questions: where are we
going and what are our goals?
should be looked at closely
at regular intervals.
Mr. Vintar said that with
the county board system in ex-
istence for six years it was time
to evaluate the board.
No further action was taken
in implementing the Family
Life Program, but the admin-
istration was asked to report on
a possible co-ordinator of the
program at the next meeting
of the board on December 2.
Trustee Ted Geoffrey outline(
the maintenance work carried
out at the various schools.
A committee of the whole
was held at the end of the
general meeting.
