teachers per class of 30 at F.6/M.6 level; (b) sets the proportion of graduates to non-graduates in fully developed secondary schools at 70% to 30%; (c) requires all non-graduate teachers in Government and fully-aided schools at Primary and Secondary levels to be professionally trained. At present there is no requirement for graduate teachers in Government and fully-aided secondary schools to be professionally trained at the time of their recruitment, but there is a salary inducement at recruitment if they have been trained and a professional qualification is necessary before a graduate teacher can be promoted.
96. We recommend an immediate review, and regular discussion, of present Government policy relating to the supply and professional training of teachers. We shall refer at the end of this Chapter to the means by which such a review may be conducted.
97. We have noted that for schools in the private sector it is present practice to provide facilities on a limited scale for in-service professional training, the scale of this provision being dependent upon available capacity in the Colleges of Education. In view of the extended use that is to be made of assisted places at F.1-3 level in the proposed expansion of secondary education, we recommend that a professional training should be offered to teachers in asymmetrical schools and schools providing bought places. We recognize, however, that the provision of such facilities will be limited in view of the priority given to the training of teachers for the Government and fully- aided sector.
98. To provide an annual output of 2,050 new graduate and trained non-graduate teachers over the next 8 years, the approximate needs
