Grant Schools to be required to have "Committee of Kanagement" and not a single Manager.
Grant Schools also required to abide by the "Regula- tions for the Conduct of Grant Schools" as made from time to time by the Director of Education.
Delete unnecessary as in no case does the new Code effect a reduction in Grant.
Account to be taken of any regular income from sources other than foes, if any. Estimates to be made annually not triennially, as the latter has proved an unworkable procedure.
Degrees to be approved not universities.
The increase in the Government Scales for Assistant Masters and Mistresses would make their scales bettor than those for Overseas Trained Teachers. It is there- fore proposed not to grant any Overseas Allowance but instead to increase the basic salaries of Overseas Trained Teachers by 6 increments to both minimum and maximum of scales. This is an increase of approxi- mately the same amount as would have been given in
the previously proposed Overseas Allowance and makes the basic scales for Overscas Trained Teachers better than that for Assistant Masters and Mistresses, The basic scales must be improved in this way as some of the Overseas Trained Teachers are locally domiciled, and thus not eligible for Overseas Allowance. It is considered that with this basic increase it is unne- cessary to give an Overseas Allowance as well, as this category of staff largely consists of members of Re- ligious Orders who originally offered their services as teachers at somewhat lower than full market rates as part of the contribution of the schools towards education, and as a part justification of Government Grant.
Charge Allowances for women to be 80% of those for men. Allowance to be called Principals' Allowance and treated as basic salary.
Part-time teachers for special subjects not to be ad- ditional to the allowance of 14 teachers for 10 classes.
The old clause would allow 50% of staff to be expatriate and eligible for long leave and passages. The amend ment considerably reduces the number of expatriate staff to be allowed.
The salary scales for secretaries and clerks to be related to similar Government scales and not to teachers' scalos.
