§ 91. Mr. K. Lindsayasked the Minister of Education how many prospective women teachers were refused admission during the last year owing to lack of accommodation in training colleges.
§ Mr. TomlinsonSelection of students is in the hands of the separate college authorities and no central record of rejected candidates is kept. I understand, however, from the unofficial clearing house with which most of the colleges work, that they had on their books the names of about 2,200 women candidates who were unsuccessful in obtaining admission to college last year. This includes candidates rejected on a variety of grounds, including unsuitability.
