4. So far as the "non-graduate" Chief Technical
Instructors are concerned, I do not consider that any
revision of the salary scale recommended by the Salaries
Commission is necessary, and I see no merit in the
proposal that they should be placed on the time-scale for
Masters, stopping two increments short of the maximum, In
the case of the Chief Instructors who possess qualifications
entitling them to be classed as graduates under Appendix IV, I,
pages 21-23 of the Burnham Committee Report on Scales of
Salary for Teachers in Establishments for Further Education,
I am advised that, if it can be maintained that such
qualific ations are not inappropriate to the status of the
post and that they would enable the officer to carry out
his duties with enhanced efficiency, then there may be a case,
to be considered on its merits, for granting the benefit
of the same scale as for Masters. I should be grateful
for your further observations on this point, which you may
wish to indicate in replying to the memorandum under
consideration.
