Syllabuses for Examinations Taken by Sixth-Form Pupils*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

Mr. K. S. Snell (Harrow), in opening the discussion on the syllabuses suggested by the Cambridge Advisory Committee, said : Schoolmasters are apt to criticise heavily examinations and examination boards. We now have an opportunity of doing the reverse. A committee has been formed with the object of producing, and keeping up to date, an agreed syllabus for Sixth form work. This was brought about by the initiative of the Cambridge Syndicate, and in particular of Mr. Brereton, whom we are glad to welcome here to-day. I am sure I am expressing your opinion when I say that this Association welcomes the first report of this Committee, and is grateful for being offered permanent representation on the Committee. We must hope that other examining boards will consider the report with care, and will be prepared to come in line with it, for the advantage of any syllabus is so greatly enhanced if it can be one that is agreed by all boards.
