§ 14. Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has now consulted the educational bodies concerned about the dissatisfaction with the present School Leaving Record; and with what form he has decided to replace it.
§ Mr. Henderson StewartAfter consulting the educational bodies concerned, my right hon. Friend has reached the conclusion that the present School Leaving Record should be discontinued and that no standard form of leaving record should be prescribed.
§ Mr. HannanIs the Joint Under-Secretary aware that the decision will give general satisfaction to those concerned? What consideration is being given to the issuing of a certificate at the age of 16 comparable with the G.C.E. certificate issued in England?
