The Public Examinations Board was first appointed by the University Council in 1901 in order to conduct public examinations in general and commercial education. In 1924, it was expanded to include other educational institutions and members were appointed by the Minister of Education. The Manuals include information on syllabus, regulations, copies of examination papers and notes by examiners. To 1969, they also included pass lists.
