2. Salaries: The salaries of European teachers should not be left
to the discretion of the Director of Education. A basic
salary common to teachers of the same qualifications
and experience being fixed, provision for the extra
commitments of teachers with family obligations
should be provided for in a scale of Family Allowances
to cover the support and education of their children.
3. To remove from the Code every suspicion of discrimination against
teachers who are members of religious orders or
congregations, the clause excepting them from general
salary scales should be eliminated ($11) (as well as
the word "Lay" in $17 which limits their right to
teach in their own schools). That done, the problem
of providing for the extra commitments of teachers.
with family obligations should be met by a scale of
Family Allowances while retaining the principle of
equality by a common Basic salary, as in No. 2 above.
