HC Deb 10 May 1889 vol 335 c1705
MR. FRANCIS STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether persons at present recognized as provisionally certificated teachers, not having sat for the Queen's Scholarship Examination, will cease to be so recognized when the New Code comes into operation; whether, if they are still so recognized, it will be necessary for them to pass the Queen's Scholarship Examination before taking the certificate papers of the first year students; and whether provisionally certificated teachers, after being employed for one year in that capacity, may sit for first year papers?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL (Sir W. HART DYKE,) Kent, Dartford

Nothing in the Code will affect the position of teachers now holding provisional certificates, nor will they have to pass the Queen's Scholarship Examination before taking the certificate papers of the first year; but they will not be allowed to take these papers after being employed only one year as provisionally certificated teachers.
