With the reduction and re-organization of the Army Educational Corps, revised regulations for Army Certificates of Education came into operation in July. The Syllabuses for 3rd and 2nd Class Certificates are more general in character than those previously in force, and responsibility for the details of the Syllabuses, and the standard required, lies more with the General Officer Commanding. The Syllabuses for 1st Class and Special Certificates are but little altered, and the standard of the papers set remains equivalent to the Matriculation Standard of recognised Universities.
Officers, &c., of the Army Educational Corps are no longer attached to units. Educational Training up to the Standard of the 2nd Class Certificate is carried out regimentally, with the advice and guidance of the Command Educational Officer; and work in advance of that standard is done at the Command Educational Centre, under the instruction of the Army Educational Corps personnel. The whole is under the control and inspection of the General Officer Commanding, assisted by the General Staff.
During the past year the following numbers of Educational Certificates have been awarded:
3rd Class 96; 2nd Class 7; 1st Class 7; "Special" 1. At present 26 soldiers are attending voluntary evening classes for the 1st Class Certificate Examination.
Instruction in Reading, Arithmetic and conversational and written English is given to the soldiers of the Hongkong-Singapore Royal Garrison Artillery. The Chinese personnel of the Royal Engineers are taught English.
Selected military students continue to receive financial assistance to enable them to take advantage of the facilities afforded by the Technical Institute. During the year 30 men have attended, but it is regretted that field-training in camp, and other military duties, have prevented some from attending as regularly as is desirable.
