We have also received representations that a case exists for the payment of allowances to staff engaged in extra-curricular activities and other additional duties. We suggest this be investigated by the Department.
During the course of our visits to schools and in written representations, we were told that there was too great a distinction between the career opportunities open to graduate and experienced non-graduate teachers. We consider that, for individuals who have demonstrated high ability and a capacity to overcome the lack of a degree, provision should be made for transfer to the graduate education grades. Our proposals, which apply not only to teachers but to all the non-graduate education grades, are given in detail in paragraph 4.19.
We recommend the following pay scales for the
Certificated Master grade :

*Note: The existing and proposed Certificated
Master scales provide for three additional increments at the top of the scale after three, two and two years of service respectively.
Lecturer (Non-Graduate)
245 posts
There are at present three ranks in this grade with large overlaps in their respective scales. The grade is employed in the Technical Institutes and the Colleges of Education. In the Technical Institutes, there are no Lecturers (Non-Graduate) whilst there are no Assistant Lecturers II in the Colleges of Education. At present Assistant Lecturers II (MPS 18 - 30) and Assistant Lecturers I
(MPS 22 36) have a combined establishment which means in effect that Assistant Lecturers II are normally promoted after three years' service to the rank of Assistant Lecturer I without having to wait for a vacancy at the higher level.
