HC Deb 05 March 1897 vol 47 cc58-9
MR. J. W. CROMBIE (Kincardineshire)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether it is the case that the Scotch Education Department has resolved to employ in the elementary schools teachers holding certificates issued by the Irish Education Board; and whether such teachers are equal in their qualifications to those holding certificates from the Scotch Education Department?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. GRAHAM MURRAY, Buteshire)

No change has been made in the Scottish Education Code in regard to certificates issued by the Irish Education Board, which are not recognised under that Code as qualifying a teacher to earn grants.
