Fee Income and Net Expenditure.
(17) In classes of schools where fees are usually charged it seems desirable to base the grant not merely on salary expenditure bu on the difference between that expenditure and the school's fees, calculated in accordance with rates approved by the Government, due allowance being made for the exemption of a certain percentage of pupils. The rate of fees and the amount of exemption will depend on the class of pupils for whom the school is intended.
Grants for Residential Schools.
(18) Recurring grants may also suitably be given towards board- ing charges in residential schools where a need for such institutions has been recognized by the Government. Here again the best basis perhaps for calculation of grants would be the net approved expendi- ture. But, owing to variety of local circumstances, it is difficult to suggest principles of general applicability for these institutions. It is generally recognized that the important part which they play in the building up of character and in the provision of a suitable educational atmosphere gives them a special claim to financial support.
Grants for Special Schools and Courses.
(19) There seems no necessity to devise separate modes of calcu- lating grants corresponding to the various grades and kinds of educational institutions, training, technical, primary, secondary, etc. The actual proportion of net expenditure borne by the Govern- ment may, of course, vary in accordance with the view taken by the Government of the relative importance or expense of each kind of school. But if expenditure is to be considered in the calculation of the grant, there seems to be no reason why it should not be assessed on the same lines for all classes of institutions. Grants for such special work as the supervision or organization of groups of schools, or the holding of holiday classes or refresher courses, would obviously have to be treated separately. General principles in respect of such grants could not well be laid down.
Grants towards Capital Expenditure.
(20) Non-recurring grants towards capital expenditure on build- ings and initial equipment or apparatus are comparatively simple and do not call for any comment here.
