Gloucester School Plans Leave Certificate Shift and Progress
The Education Gazette outlines the switch from Intermediate to Leaving Certificate with four year and five year versions in 1942 and 1943. Pupils in second year in 1940 may choose Intermediate in 1941 or leave with the new Leaving Certificate in 1942. At Gloucester, current Intermediate pupils will transfer to a High School and take the Leaving Certificate in 1942 after two years there. The school enrollment reaches 352, its peak. A test in April will determine which pupils move to a lower class, aiming to improve progress. The Teachers' Federation approved Combined Schools Sports and financing methods.
