The report recommended a special extra-scale for teachers who
were over 30 years of age and had served for five years or more at the
top of the existing scale of $1,750. The recommendation envisaged
further increments of 875 by three-year intervals to a maximum of $1,975.
It also recommended that those accepting this scale should forego any
further right to promotion prospects.
When the Working Group Report was published on 14th February,
interested parties were invited to comment and a period of four weeks
was set aside for this.
In view of comments made by teachers, and the administrative
problems involved in implementing the Working Group's proposal, the
Government has decided that the satisfactory teacher could enter the
extra scale automatically without forfeiting his right to promotion
prospects. The salary points of the extra-scale have been adjusted to
bring them onto the master pay scale at $1,950 and $2,050.
