Representations from staff and the departmental management claimed that a degree should be the entry qualification for this grade. We therefore arranged for a detailed study of the functions of this grade to ascertain the validity of this claim. The review established that the successful performance of the Controller of Posts' duties depends not so much on high academic qualifications, as on a sound understanding of the work systems of the postal services, as well as personal qualities such as leadership, maturity and managerial skills. There is no evidence to justify raising the existing entry qualification (matriculation), which is considered adequate.
The review has, however, highlighted a number of weaknesses in the structure of the grade, e.g. its requirement for an unduly lengthy training period and the variation in the levels of responsibilities among different Assistant Controllers of Posts I. We believe that these problems can be overcome by functionalising the Assistant Controller of Posts II rank, at present a training rank, and redefining the role of the Assistant Controller of Posts I rank. We recommend that outstanding staff in the Postal Officer grade at Senior Postal Officer level and above should be eligible for consideration for appointment as Assistant Controller of Posts II. We also recommend that the pay scales should be revised as follows :
