§ 43. Miss Horsbrughasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many students are attending the Dunfermline College of Hygiene arid Physical Education; how many of them are completing this year the three-years course and the one-year course, respectively; and what distinction in recognition by the Scottish Education Department is made between the students who have completed a three-years course and obtained the Chapter VI recognition and those who have completed the one-year course?
§ Mr. ElliotThe answer to the first part of the question is 105. Of this number 25 have just completed the three-year course and 25 the one-year course. Both types receive the same recognition under the regulations, but it is a condition of admission to the shorter course that the student already holds a qualification under the regulations.
§ Miss HorsbrughDoes the qualifying certificate state the extent of education in physical training that has been completed? If not, why are the same qualifications given to those who are taking a three-year course as to those who are taking a one-year course of instruction?
§ Mr. ElliotNot only physical education, but capability to teach is in question.
§ 52. Miss Horsbrughasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many applications were received this year for admission as students to the Dunfermline College of Hygiene and Physical Education for a three-years course; and how many were admitted?
§ Mr. ElliotThe answer to the first part of the question is 80, and of this number 35 will be admitted at the beginning of the ensuing session.
