 Archived:Chapter 5: Teacher Induction in an Era of Education Reform--The Case of New Zealand
Staff from two colleges of education acknowledge that the quality of their applicant pool declined this past year and that they anticipate this trend will accelerate in the years ahead because of the continued strengthening of the New Zealand economy and low teacher salaries.
In practice, new teachers do not always have input in the assignment of their tutor teachers, new teachers do not all receive their.2 time, and some new teachers are not able to take as great a role in developing their AGP as recommended because they are required to follow programs already prescribed by their AGPs.

 College: Encyclopedia II - College - British and American usage contrasted
at the more-academic end of the scale, on the other hand, many American college students (especially at the most elite institutions) see "college" as a time of intellectual exploration which can be accomplished free from any need to prepare for the future, believing graduate school to be the time for that.
The American system, by permitting students to spend some of their time in classes entirely removed from their major field of study, forces much less specialization and focus than is common in the rest of the world.
Hence one's college years involve a quite distinct kind of living arrangement between the family home and the first adult apartment.
