In Table M the teachers above the rank of pupil-teachers are divided according to their status as holding certificates, or being in that respect only partially qualified for the appointments they hold. In December 1,700 teachers out of 2,038 had passed the examination for certificates : 1,674 held certificates, 5 needed only to have marks assigned to them by the Inspectors, and 21 had not completed the required term of service. There were 142 that had obtained partial pass, 57 who had failed at examination, and 139 who had not offered themselves for examination. Twenty-nine of the uncertificated teachers held the " license to teach," and these are indicated by numbers in square brackets in the table.

TABLE M.—Teachers Certificated and Uncertificated, 31st December, 1890. (Numbers In brackets represent licensed teachers included in other numbers.)

At the examination held in January, 70 of the uncertificated teachers passed, reducing the number of teachers that had not passed to 268 —out of the total of 2,038. At the same time a considerable number obtained " partial pass." The annual reports of the Education Boards will be found in the Appendix (pp. 54-86), and with each report an abstract of the Board's receipts and expenditure is given. Tables No. 3 and No. 4in the Appendix contain a summary of these accounts, and the following table (N) is a shorter statement of the summary:— TABLE N.—Absi'eact of Receipts and Expenditure of Boards.
