§ Major N. Macphersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland at how many schools pupils are prepared for the leaving certificate examinations in rural subjects; how many pupils sat for the junior and senior certificates in rural economy, respectively, in 1945.; and what percentage passed in each.
§ Mr. WestwoodSchemes of instruction in agriculture have been approved for the following six senior secondary schools in Scotland: Lindsay High School, Bathgate, Balfron High School, Bell-Baxter High School, Cupar, Queen's Park High School, Glasgow, Douglas Ewart High School, Newton Stewart, Wallace Hall Academy, Dumfries. At the senior leaving certificate examination in 1945, 14 candidates were presented in this subject on the higher grade. Of these 12 were adjudged to have reached a satisfactory standard. As the examination for award of the junior leaving certificate has been suspended since the outbreak of war, no figures in respect of that examination can be given for 1945.
