Some aspects of developments in science courses in FE establishments

Abstract

The lynch‐pin Since its inception in 1921, the National Certificate System has been the lynch‐pin of technical education. This is evident from two main considerations: first, from the increasing upsurge of interest shown in the system since the first certificates were awarded to successful candidates in mechanical engineering in 1922 (see graphs I and II), and second, from the key position that this system has occupied in the course ladder schemes in many of our technical colleges, providing a stepping‐stone for part‐time and evening students en route to professional and technological qualification (see Course Scheme I).
