Examination of Teachers.

Education Department,
Wellington, 7th June, 1880.
THE following lists contain statements of the
principal results of the examination held at
the end of March, 1880. It must be understood that
the granting of a certificate depends only in part
upon the result of an examination, and that candi-
dates who have not had the experience required by
the regulations, or who do not receive the necessary
marks from a School Inspector, have no claim to a
certificate.
The first list contains the names of the successful
candidates at the examination for Class D. The
second supplies similar information with regard to
Class E. The third and fourth lists give the names
of candidates who will be allowed to qualify for
Classes D and E respectively, by passing at the
next examination in those subjects only in which
they have this year been unsuccessful. The fifth is
the list of candidates whose status before the
examination was "provisional," and who have now
passed in the additional subjects necessary for a full
certificate.
Every candidate will receive a private intimation
of his success or failure, and those whose names are
in the third and fourth lists will be advised as to the
subjects in which they will require to be examined
again.
An asterisk against a name signifies that the
candidate is too young to hold a full certificate.
