Resolution defining "Fair Attendance."
Resolution defining "Fair Attendance."
This resolution referred to the instructions issued by the Inspectors, and represented that these should be amended so as to allow teachers to withhold from the Standard examination all pupils who had not made a fixed number of attendances during the school year. It was considered by your Committee that, as the Regulations were issued by the Education Board, application should be made to that body asking for a more precise definition of "fair attendance." The resolution was forwarded to the Education Board. The reply stated that the Board had not the power to make the alteration suggested.
