asked the President of the Board of Education whether he will make arrangements for candidates who fail in the certificate examination for acting teachers to be told in what subjects they have failed?

Candidates are not required to pass in particular subjects in the certificate examination for acting teachers, but the Board are prepared to send to any teacher on application a statement of the subjects in which his work in the examination was weak.
