r.V.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Sept. 14. Two new options, one in physics and the other in mathematics, are included in this year’s school certificate examination, education department authorities said today. The options are "pilot scheme” mathematics and “physical science study committee” physics. A total of 529 candidates, mainly islanders, from Western Samoa, Fiji, Rarotonga and Tonga will sit the examination outside New Zealand. Eleven other candidates will sit the examination in other parts of the world.
Hundreds of adults with three years’ post-primary education will be sitting the examination. For the first time this year any adult who wishes to sit in one particular subject may do so. If he obtained 50 per cent or more in that subject he would be given a certificate of education, officials said. The examination will begin on Monday, November 15, and end on Friday, November 26.
