§ 27. Mr. MAXTONasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many separate advanced division schools have been established in Scotland and the number of other schools with advanced divisions; what is the total number of teachers employed in this work; and how many of these are recognised under Chapter V 180 of the Regulations for the Training of Teachers?
§ Mr. SKELTONThe number of separate advanced division schools in Scot-land at 31st July, 1933, was 37 and, in addition, there were 1,557 primary schools providing advanced division instruction. The total number of teachers in separately staffed advanced divisions is 3,237, of whom 565 are recognised under Chapter V of the Regulations. In addition to the foregoing, there were 232 secondary schools which offered instruction leading to presentation for the day school certificate, i.e., instruction equivalent to that given in schools with two or three year advanced division courses. The instruction in these schools was given by teachers approved under the Secondary Schools Regulations.
