Mr. Amoryasked the Minister of Education how many uncertificated teachers have taken or started the one-year course for certification; and how many have taken or started the two-years course during the last 12 months.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe first special one-year courses for uncertificated teachers began in the autumn of 1947. 444 uncertificated teachers were admitted to these courses. Of the students who completed two-year courses in teachers' training colleges in 1947, 527 had been employed as uncertificated teachers before their entry into college. I could not, without 107W laborious investigation, give similar information for the students now following two-year courses.
