HC Deb 21 June 1901 vol 95 cc1072-3
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state what percentage of pupils who successfully pass through the junior grade of intermediate education in Ireland succeed in subsequently passing the senior grade; and what opportunity members of this House will be afforded for discussing the new rules brought forward by the Commissioners of Intermediate Education.

MR. WYNDHAM

For the last three years 7 per cent., approximately, of students who passed in the junior grade succeeded in passing in the senior grade. It may be stated that but a small percentage of successful junior grade students proceed to the senior grade.

ME. FLYNN

And when are we to have an opportunity of discussing the new rule?

ME. WYNDHAM

That depends on the arrangement of the business of the House.
