grammar schools : $400 (urban)
sixth forms
$300 (suburban)
$200 (rural)
$450
technical schools $200 (urban)
$100 (rural)
(technical school fees to be brought progressively
into line with grammar school fees)
(x) to introduce increased provision for fee remission,
the maximum rates to be 50 per cent for matriculation
classes, 45 per cent for other grammar school classes
and 35 per cent for secondary technical schools;
(xi) to increase the provision of various types of
vocational training and to grant financial assistance
to agencies prepared to establish one-year or two-year
courses of training directed towards specific industries or occupations (to meet the needs of the estimated 20-30 per
cent of children not proceeding to secondary education
and not old enough to enter industrial employment);
The total effect of all the above proposals was to ensure
that all young persons who desired it could obtain a minimum
of seven years' full-time aided education, while making increased
provision for further education for those best able to benefit
by it.7
(xii) to introduce tuition fees of $400 p.a. in the teacher
training colleges, with provision for all students on
application to obtain an interest-free loan of up to
$1,200 p.a., repayable over three or four years, and
additionally, for needy students, an outright grant
over and above the loan, up to $1,600 p.a.
