HC Deb 07 May 1912 vol 38 cc227-8
Captain FABER

asked whether a certificated lady school teacher was lately appointed as an uncertificated teacher in the Danemaster new council school, Winchester; whether the post was duly advertised; and, if not, whether the President of the Board of Education proposes to take any action in the matter?

Mr. PEASE

The Winchester local education authority are building a new council school at Danemark, but the school is not yet opened. I have no information with reference to the staff which the authority propose to appoint to the school.

Captain FABER

Is it legal or not for a certificated school teacher to be appointed as a non-certificated teacher?

Mr. PEASE

The question of the appointment of teachers is entirely in the hands of the local education authority. All we provide for is to inspect the school when it is opened in order to satisfy ourselves that it is efficient.
