HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS AND CERTIFICATES. 130. The Certificates of High School scholarship are not designed for the local grading of schools, which is defined in Section 109 of the Act and in Regulations 30 and 84. They supply, however, the most uniform test of scholarship possible for general purposes, and are accepted by many universities, colleges and other institutions within and without the Province, thus saving high schools from having separate classes for matriculation into different institutions, and high school students from matriculation examinations when they have made a sufficiently high pass under an impartial board of examiners, on a published syllabus and examination questions. 131. They originated from the primitive "Teachers' Examinations," where it was found high school students in order to test their scholarship, took the Teachers' examinations, including those on the professional subjects in which they had no professional interest. On account of this extended public demand, the Teachers' Examination was divided into the scholarship section (the High School examination), and the professional section (the Teachers' Minimum Professional Qualification examination—the M. P. Q.) which ranks one grade below the "Normal Professional Qualification.' Hence the "Pass" Certificate (whether "high" or "low") is on a group of subjects imperative only on teachers; but every candidate receives a certificate of the examiners' valuation of each paper, which is valid for any subject examined as a certificate of scholarship on such subjects, whether it is a teacher's pass or not. Only ."Pass" Certificates will bear the heading with the "arms" of the Education Department, the high "pass" being indicated only by the higher score prescribed for that distinction. Each university, college or institution, having the course of study, the syllabus of examination, and the printed examination questions before it, can fix its own standard of "passing" at 40, 50, 60 or any other precentage according to its estimate of the candidate's |
