§ SIR PHILIP MAGNUS (London University)To ask the President of the Board of Education whether having regard to Article 15, Chapter 2, of the 1544 Regulations for Secondary Schools, 1907' he proposes, after 31st July, 1908, to make evidence of training a condition for the appointment of any proportion of the teachers in secondary schools receiving Government grants; and whether the Board are prepared to make grants to private institutions for the training of secondary school teachers, provided that the training is recognised by the Board as efficient.
(Answered by Mr. Lough.) The article referred to will stand in the next issue of the Regulations; and the Board hope to issue at an early date Regulations prescribing the conditions upon which grants may be made in aid of the training of teachers for secondary schools, but my right hon. friend is not in a position at present to indicate their scope.
