✨ Education Reports and Commendations
xxxi.
The schools excelling in efficiency have already been sufficiently indicated in the monthly and quarterly reports throughout the year.
The class of successful Candidates for Masterships has included several persons of very little previous experience in the conduct of schools; in the absence of any of higher qualifications, it has been necessary to "pass" those who have shown aptitude for their work. The skill and efficiency acquired by practice is in several instances very satisfactory, although the efficiency of the school has been of slower growth than where more competent masters have entered upon their duties.
A revision of the list of certified teachers, and a system of graduated certificates, appears to be desirable.
A list has been prepared of children commended for good conduct, attendance, and progress during the year.
The names of the children who distinguished themselves at each examination are entered in the journal in order of merit; and the names of most frequent recurrence are selected for commendatory notice to the Board. On this plan, children from the junior classes occasionally take precedence of their seniors. The names in italics are those recommended to the Board for rewards. The returns have been consulted as to the regularity of their attendance.
