HC Deb 24 January 1929 vol 224 cc312-3
12. Mr. WILLIAM HIRST

asked the President of the Board of Education if his attention has been drawn to the advertisements in the official journal of the Association of Education Committees, Education, for 11th January, from the Bridlington and Ipswich authorities for uncertificated assistant mistresses with salaries under Scale 2; and if his Department is prepared to recognise so low a standard of teaching for authorities under its control?

Lord E. PERCY

I have seen the advertisements referred to. The employment of uncertificated teachers is allowed by the Code, and it would not be practicable to prohibit their employment.
