SCHOOL YEAR
BRITISH CHANGES PROPOSED [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.] RUGBY, July 1. The question of examination dates was discussed at a conference of representatives of the Board of Education, local educational authorities, and the teaching profession. The opinion of the conference was that the school and higher school certificate examinations should be held towards the end of the autumn term, and that the co-operation of the Uniservities should be enlisted in this matter. It was suggested, in consequence, that the educational year of the secondary and elementary schools should be altered to coincide with the calendar year, and that if the academic yeai’ at the universities remained as at present, suitable arrangements should be made to meet cases of financial hardship involved by the gap between the date of the higher school certificate and the date of entry to the university.
