Previous Section | Table of Contents | Up | Next Section

Certificates of the Third Class.

56. Candidates who are placed by examination in the fourth division (Article 49) receive certificates of the third class.

57. Certificates of the third class do not entitle the teachers to have the charge of pupil-teachers.

58. Certificates of the third class can be raised only by examination.

59. Certificates of the third class may be granted, without examination, upon the report of an inspector, to acting teachers who satisfy the following conditions:—
(1.)They must, at the date of the inspector's report,—
(a.)be above 25 years of age;
(b.)have been teachers of elementary schools for at least five years; and—
(c.)present certificates of good character from the managers of their schools.
(2)The inspector must report,—
(a.)That they are efficient teachers;
(b.)That not less than 20 children, who had been under instruction in their schools during the preceding six months, were individually examined (Article 28); and
(c.)That at least 15 of the "passes" of these scholars in reading, writing, or arithmetic, were made in the second or some higher Standard.
(3.)No applications for certificates under this Article will be entertained which do not reach the Department (Article 14) on or before the 31st of March, 1879.

59. (a.) In schools attended by infants only (under 7 years of age), the conditions of Article 59, (2), (b. and c.) are not required to be fulfilled.

59. (b.) In schools having a total population of less than 100 souls within three miles of them, for which no other school is available, the conditions of Article 59 (2), (b. and c.) and (3) are not required to be fulfilled. In such cases certificates will be granted to women only, and will not qualify the holders (Article 17 d.) of them for the charge of schools of any other class.

60. Pupil-teachers who have completed their engagement with credit, and who have passed satisfactorily either the examination for the close of their fifth year (Schedule I.), or (Article 94) that page 73 referred to in Article 91, may, upon special recommendation by the inspector, be provisionally certificated in the third class for immediate service in charge of schools (Article 4) which have an annual average attendance of not more than 60 scholars.*

61. After their 25th year of age (completed) their provisional certificates must have been exchanged for permanent certificates (Article 43), or are ipso facto cancelled.

61. (a.) The provisional certificate is confined to an entry of the pupil-teacher's name in a register kept by the Department, and does not involve the issue of any certificate to the pupil-teacher.

62. The managers of several schools may combine to employ an organizing teacher to superintend the certificated teachers of these schools. (See foot note to Article 32. a. 2.)
