HC Deb 12 July 1923 vol 166 c1607W
Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, in consequence of the suspension of the teachers' certificate examination for this year, he will extend the period of temporary certification of teachers (Art. 48 (e)) who, having failed to obtain their degree are now denied the only alternative means of qualifying?

Mr. WOOD

I am not sure that I quite understand what is the difficulty referred to in the question. Persons who have been trained in a University Training Department, and have failed to obtain their certificate at the end of their course because they have failed to obtain a degree, may subsequently qualify for a certificate either by passing their degree examination or by passing the Board's final examination for the certificate. Neither of these means of qualifying will be affected by the suspension of the certificate examination for acting teachers.
