CERTIFICATE V. "MATRIC"
ACCOUNTANTS' DECISION
"On the, evidence submitted your sub-committee is of the opinion that the standard' for- the school certificate (an; Examination set by the Department of Education)' is at least equal to that of matriculation," was a clause of a report adopted by the Council of the New. Zealand Society of Accountants/ The case ,for the certificate was stated a few weeks- ago by principals of secondary' schools and the Chief Inspector of those schools. However, the committee also reported that'it could not recommend the adoption of the certificate as j entitling the' candidate to a pass in the society's- preliminary examination for the following .reasons:—. . . (a) The school certificate is not accepted by the University in lieu of matriculation; and is therefore of no value-to a candidate who wishes to proceed to the B.Com. course. (b) The school certificate is not recognised by other . professions— . medicine, .law, dentistry, etc. . (c) To,accept the school certificate as' qualifying . for the preliminary examination when: it has no outside . • recognition would tend to lower, in the estimation' of outside persons, the value of the society's examinations. ;;'■■■..
The society ■ has decided to request the University authorities to accept again partial passes in the matriculation examination. ■
