HC Deb 14 July 1898 vol 61 c932
MR. MCKENNA (Monmouth, N.)

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Grand Committee propose to carry out, by alterations in the Code or otherwise, any of the recommendations in the Report of the recent Committee on the Pupil Teacher System, and particularly whether they will carry out the recommendations in the Report under the subhead "Queen's Scholarship Examination and Admission to Training Colleges," and the recommendations as to changes in the curriculum for pupil teachers and students in training colleges?

THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (Sir J. GORST,) Cambridge University

The Committee of Council have not decided what alterations they will carry out. They have the Report still under consideration.

MR. MCKENNA

Will the Committee of Council decide it before the issue of the next Code?

SIR J. GORST

That is what they are waiting for. No alteration can be made till the next Code is published, and long after that.
