§ 33. Mr. SCOTTasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the contents and purpose of H 3 Schedule, and when it was instituted by the Scottish Education Department; how many were issued and completed last year; whether the results of the schedules are brought under the notice of members of education committees; and whether he will publish these results?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Mr. Westwood)Form H 3 states the results in the separate subjects of the leaving certificate examination, and is addressed to the official correspondent of the school. It was first used in 1896, and in 1930 it was issued to 219 schools. In the case of a school conducted by an education authority it is for the authority to decide whether the results should be brought to the notice of members of the education committee. My right hon. Friend does not consider that publication of the results by the Department would serve any useful purpose.
§ Mr. SCOTTDoes the hon. Member not understand that if the members of education committees and the public do not know the results under Schedule H 3 they are working very much in the dark?
§ Mr. WESTWOODI have already pointed out that an education authority can itself determine when the members shall have the reports before them.
§ Mr. WESTWOODSchedule H 3 merely gives the details as to the separate subjects passed by the students.
