§ 87. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that there are about 42,000 uncertificated teachers in elementary schools; that these teachers have the same hours of work, like duties and responsibilities, and frequently teach as many scholars as certificated teachers, but receive less pay; that. many local authorities prefer such uncertificated teachers as serving for lower salaries; and whether he proposes in his coining reforms to raise the status and improve the position of uncertificated teachers?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Herbert Fisher)I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by me to the hon. Member for West Bradford on 12th March, a copy of which I am sending to him.
