§ 57. Sir H. Lucas-Toothasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is aware that the practice of holding school examinations early in the term frequently involves a wasted period between the examinations and the end of term; and what advice he has given to local education authorities and others in this connection.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsThe Examining Boards for the General Certificate of Education were invited to complete their examinations by the end of June in order to fit in with the Government's policy of encouraging the staggering of summer holidays. It is for the school authorities to see that any remaining period of the summer term is not wasted.
