The University provides a four-year course leading to a degree.
At the end of the second year and Intermediate examination has to be
passed by students. The idea of Intermediate Colleges put forward
by the Sadler University Commission has not found favour in the
province.

The University is entitled to confer the following degrees : B.A.,
B.Sc., M.A., M.Sc. Ph.D., D.Sc., LL.B., LL.M., LL.D,, B.Ag.,
and B.T. (bachelor of teaching, formerly called L. T., licentiate of
teaching). No doctorates have as yet been conferred.

X.—SPECIAL INSTITUTIONS.

33. Spence Training College at Juhhulpore which trains teachers
for work in high schools and anglo-vernacular middle schools has
already been described. For the training of teachers for work in
vernacular middle- schools and in primary schools Government
maintains normal schools at convenient centres. They admit after a
competitive examination pupils from vernacular middle schools, and
they provide a two-year course for primary school teachers with an
extra year for those who are selected to be trained as teachers for
vernacular middle schools. There are at present many teachers who
have been trained at normal schools but who are still unemployed.
One reason for this is that it is cheaper for local nuthorities to employ
untrained than trained teachers. The passing of Local Self-Govern-
ment Acts in 1920 and 1922 gave local bodies the right to appoint
their own teachers without reference to Government. Government
has been compelled to order the closing of one of its normal schools
in order to reduce unemployment among trained teachers. This is
remarkable, at a time when primary education ought to be expanding
by leaps and bounds.
