Representation by Council as to course of study and examinations. |
43.—(1) If at any time it appears to the Council that the course of study and examinations to be gone through to obtain a qualifying diploma from any of the bodies or colleges mentioned in the Second Schedule to this Act are not such as to guarantee the possession by persons obtaining such qualifying diploma of the skill and knowledge requisite for the efficient practice of their profession, the Council may make a representation in writing under its seal to that effect to the Executive Council and shall send by registered post such representation to the Minister. | |
(2) The Council shall send by registered post a copy of every such representation as aforesaid to the college or body by which the course of study or examinations to which such representation relates is held, and such college or body may make such observations thereon as such college or body may think fit and may forward such observations to the Minister. | ||
(3) The Minister shall lay before the Executive Council every representation sent to him by the Council under this section together with the observations (if any) made thereon by the college or body by which the course of study and the examinations to which such representation relates are required to be gone through. | ||
(4) The Executive Council shall consider every representation and the observations (if any) made thereon laid before them under this section and, if satisfied after such consideration that the course of study and examinations to which such representation relates are not such as to guarantee the possession by persons obtaining a qualifying diploma of the college or body by which such course of study and examinations are required to be gone through the skill and knowledge requisite for the efficient practice of their profession, the Executive Council may by order declare that any qualifying diploma granted on or after the date specified in that behalf in such order to any person by such college or body shall not confer on such person the right to be registered in the register. | ||
(5) Upon any such order as aforesaid being made by the Executive Council a qualifying diploma granted by the college or body to which such order relates to any person on or after the date specified in that behalf in such order and if such order is revoked under this section before such revocation shall not confer on such person the right to be registered in the register. | ||
(6) The Executive Council may at any time revoke an order made under this section if satisfied upon further representation made to it by the Council or otherwise that the college or body to which such order relates has made effectual provision to the satisfaction of the Council for the improvement of the course of study or examinations or the conduct of the examinations to which such order relates, and upon such order of revocation being made the order so revoked shall as from the date of such order of revocation cease to be in force. |
