Eligibility for secondary teaching post adjusted
Starting this school year, a non-local degree holder with a postgraduate certificate in education obtained from a local university will be eligible for appointment as Graduate Master/Mistress (GM) in aided secondary, caput and bought- place schools, the Education Department announced today (Monday).
A department spokesman said the eligibility is irrespective of whether the non- local degree is equivalent to a local degree or not.
The change has been made in accordance with the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Teacher Education and Qualifications.
The new entry requirement takes effect on September 1 and there will be no retrospective effect, the spokesman said.
On appointment as GM, holders of these qualifications will enter the GM pay scale (Master Pay Scale Points 17-33) at Point 19.
The spokesman said: "The existing stipulation in the Code of Aid for Secondary Schools that the qualification required for appointment as a GM is a Bachelor degree from a local university or equivalent will remain unchanged. However, the new entry requirement will be added to the Code of Aid to reflect the change."
