Speaking at a major conference on employment equity for women in the education systom, Ward said lie expects scliool boards te, develop plans to put these policies into effect, and te dosignate senior officials responsible fer their coordination.

The new goal of 50 per cent will apply te the positions of supervisory officer, principal and vice-principal. 1rhen many senior officials are retiring, whon more than 56 per cent of the scliool board employees* are women, wlien almoet hlaf of the succesaiful candidates for principa]'s qualifications and supervisory officer examinations are women, these objectives are not only realistic, but plain common sense, le said.
