There appears to be no functional difference between the two ranks and, indeed, between posts of Lecturer (Non-Graduate) and Assistant Lecturer I in the Colleges of Education which are provided on a ratio basis, i.e. for every four posts created, at the Assistant Lecturer I level one post is provided at the Lecturer (Non-Graduate) level.
Representations by staff called for an additional rank for this grade, again with overlapping scales, with the maximum pay for the top rank set at MPS Point 44, but we do not consider this is justified on functional grounds. We propose the merging of the Assistant Lecturer I and II ranks, and recommend that the Lecturer (Non-Graduate) be allocated suitable administrative duties such as assisting Principal Lecturers with the organisation of courses. This will create a clear functional difference between the new Assistant Lecturer rank and that of Lecturer (Non-Graduate).
The starting pay for the Assistant Lecturer rank takes account of the requirement for six years' teaching experience. However, entrants to the rank who teach courses requiring less than six years' teaching experience (e.g. secretarial courses) should be appointed at appropriate points below the minimum. are as follows :

This is a two-rank grade and, like Lecturers, entrants are normally required to have six years' teaching experience. While we consider that there continues to be a requirement for a supervisory rank, the existing overlap between the scales for Assistant Inspector and Inspector
(Non-Graduate) should be eliminated. We also consider that, in order to provide a pay structure in line with those of other non-graduate grades, the pay scales should be equated with those for the Lecturer (Non-Graduate) grade. Accordingly, we propose the following pay scales :
