asked the Minister for Finance whether, in view of the admitted importance of science subjects in the secondary schools curriculum, he will instruct Coimisiún na Státseirbhise to amend the regulation in the examination for executive officers, etc., which precludes a candidate from offering both chemistry and physics in that examination as optional subjects.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Civil Service Examination Regulation.
5.
The regulation referred to by the Deputy is under review but the arrangements for the 1964 executive officer examination are now too far advanced to allow of any change at this stage.
Would the Minister consider recommending a change in time for the next examination?
Yes. The Civil Service Commission have that under consideration.
