§ Miss RATHBONEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether, in view of the increasing unemployment among secondary school teachers due to economy measures, he will relax the regulations which prevent graduate teachers with long experience in secondary schools from passing into elementary teaching until they have first acquired additional qualifications?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMMy Noble Friend is not aware that there is increasing unemployment among secondary school teachers due to economy measures. Since 1926 it has been open to a graduate without training, who has an approved teaching diploma awarded by a university, to obtain recognition as a certificated teacher under the Code after completing four years' approved teaching service. Such service may be in a secondary school.
