C. E. Beeby
Clarence Edward Beeby (16 June 1902 – 10 March 1998), most commonly referred to as C.E. Beeby or simply Beeb, was a New Zealand educationalist and "(described as the architect of our modern education system" ). Beeby's educational ethos is best summarised as "every person regardless of background or ability had a right to an education of a type for which they were best suited".
Beeby had an enormous influence of the development of the education system in New Zealand, first as a director of the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER) from 1936, and then as Director of Education (head of the Ministry of Education) from 1940, initially under the First Labour Government. He also served as ambassador to France and on the UNESCO executive. In the Queen's Birthday Honours 1956 Beeby was appointed a Companion of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George and on 6 February 1987 was the second appointee to the Order of New Zealand.〔"The Order of New Zealand" (12 February 1987) 20 ''New Zealand Gazette'' 705 at 709.〕 He received honorary doctorates from the University of Canterbury, University of Otago, and Victoria University of Wellington.
Beeby's wife Beatrice was one of the founders of the New Zealand Playcentre movement, and his son was the distinguished New Zealand diplomat and international lawyer, Chris Beeby, portrayed in Ben Affleck's film, (Argo ).
==Early life and education==
Beeby was born in Meanwood, Leeds, Yorkshire, and emigrated with his family to New Zealand in 1906. He was educated at New Brighton School and Christchurch Boys High School, and initially studied law at Canterbury College, before switching to Christchurch Training College to study primary teaching. Beeby met Beatrice Newnham while they were both undergraduate students and they were married in 1926. Beeby gained an MA in 1926, and had been working as a part-time lecturer during the latter part of his studies. He worked for a PhD at Victoria University of Manchester, under the tutelage of Charles Spearman. Spearman's belief in a strong hereditary component to intelligence was to influence Beeby's later educational beliefs. Beeby was not fond of his given names, and elected from an early age to be known by his surname.
