APPENDIX I
Definition of the Main Levels of Manpower
(a) High Level Manpower
Includes top administrators and managers of sizeable establishments (public and private) and professionally trained persons of all kinds including qualified teachers. The qualifications required for such posts, where specified, are a university degree or an equivalent professional qualification and a minimum period of experience in a senior capacity.
(b) Intermediate Level Manpower
In this category are technical and supervisory personnel, also non-graduate teachers. They often hold executive or supervisory positions but do not make policy. They normally require training of 2-4 years at a post-school certificate level followed by experience on the job. Since they are in the nature of a communications link between the high level and skilled level personnel they are also expected to know something of the work and responsibilities of these categories. They include, for example, nurses, engineering and science technicians, agricultural assistants, assistant chief clerks, senior draughtsmen and assistant managers.
(c)
Skilled Level Manpower
This category includes those persons who are competent, through training and experience, to execute work which requires a high degree of manual skill and dexterity but limited theoretical knowledge or background education. Includes craftsmen of all kinds, clerks, typists, draughtsmen, cooks etc.
(d) Operatives
Personnel trained to carry out a limited number of repetitive operations or to operate an automatic machine. This is a distinctly lower level of work than that of the craftsman and the grade includes such workers as textile machine operatives, personnel engaged in production line work, postmen, roundsmen, crane and tractor drivers etc.
