Sec. 3. Limited certificates valid for one (1) year may be granted, upon the request of the commissioner, according to rules of the state board of education. Modification of these rules may be made by the state board of education in a way reasonably calculated to make available an adequate supply of qualified teachers. A limited certificate may be issued in cases where special education and qualifications warrant the waiver of part of the prerequisite professional education required for certification to teach in the public schools. The limited certificate, however, may be issued only to applicants who have graduated from an accredited college or university. Teachers of vocational education need not be graduates of an accredited college or university but shall meet requirements for conditional vocational certificates as determined by the department of education.
