HC Deb 02 July 1924 vol 175 cc1355-6W
Mr. E. HARVEY

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the delay in the issue of the Report of the Departmental Committee on the training of teachers, he will announce the date of the next examination for the teacher's certificate for the benefit of uncertificated teachers now engaged in public elementary schools; and whether the Board will issue full particulars of any such examination?

Mr. TREVELYAN

As I have already announced, the Board intend to hold the acting teachers' certificate examination in November, 1924, and the syllabus for the examination was issued more than a year ago; but I am afraid it is impossible for me to make any statement upon the future of the examination after that date until I have received the Report of the Departmental Committee.
