MY DEAR MINISTER,

Notice having been given to terminate as from 31st March next the scales of salary at present in force for teachers employed by local education authorities in Primary and Secondary Schools, the Burnham Main Committee have, during recent months, been considering revised scales which they should recommend as suitable to take the place of those which are now in operation.

At their meeting on the 8th December, 1950, the Committee resolved that new scales, as set out in the document which is enclosed with this letter, should be submitted to you. It is hoped that you will indicate your approval of the Committee's recommendations.

A fuller document containing detailed provisions in regard to such matters as the method of applying the scales is in course of preparation. I hope to be in a position to submit that further report to you in the course of the next few weeks.

Yours sincerely,        
MALCOLM TRUSTRAM EVE.

DEAR SIR MALCOLM,

You sent me on 13th December a summary of the scale of salary which the Burnham Committee have recommended should take the place from 1st April next, of the scales at present in force for teachers employed by local education authorities in primary and secondary schools. You said at the same time that a further Report, containing a number of detailed provisions, would be submitted in a few weeks' time.

I am glad to be able to tell you at once that the scales recommended by the Committee are such as I should be able to approve. When I receive the further Report which you mention I have every hope that I shall be able to give it definite approval and to make the necessary Order.

Yours sincerely,        
GEORGE TOMLINSON.

MY DEAR MINISTER,

The Standing Joint Committees on Scales of Salaries for Teachers, which later became known as the Burnham Committees - (i) Elementary, (ii) Secondary, (iii) Technical - were set up in 1919 following a meeting of representatives of Local Education Authorities and Teachers convened by the President of the Board of Education. The Committees were reconstituted in 1944 as two Burnham Committees, one Committee (Burnham Main Committee) to deal with the salaries of teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools and County Colleges, the other (Burnham Technical Committee) with the salaries of teachers in Technical, including Commercial and Art, Colleges and Schools.

Reports of these two Committees for the period 1st April 1945 to 31st March 1948 were approved under Section 89 (1) of the Education Act 1944, on 8th October 1945, and further reports on 28th January 1948.

You will remember that on 13th December last, I indicated that notice had been given to terminate the operation of the scales at present in force and I sent you a summary of the scales of salary which the Main Committee have recommended to take the place, from 1st April next, of the scales at present in force for teachers employed by Local Education Authorities in Primary and Secondary Schools. At the same time, I said that a fuller document containing the detailed provisions such as the method of applying the scales was in course of preparation. On January 9th you told me that the scales recommended were such that you would be able to approve and that when you received the further Report you had every hope that you would be able to give it definite approval and to make the necessary order. I now submit for your consideration and approval the Committee's full Report which embodies their recommendations.

Yours sincerely,        
MALCOLM TRUSTRAM EVE.

The Rt. Hon. George Tomlinson, P.C., M.P.,
Ministry of Education, Curzon Street, W.1.

DEAR SIR MALCOLM,

I am writing to thank you for your letters of 5th March, 1951, with which you sent me Reports containing the detailed recommendations of the Burnham Main Committee on scales of remuneration for teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools and those of the Burnham Technical Committee for teachers in Establishments for Further Education. I am glad to be able to inform you that I approve the recommendations contained in these two Reports and that, in pursuance of the provisions of Section 89 of the Education Act, 1944, an Order will be made in respect of the new salary scales which will come into operation on 1st April, 1951.

The Reports will be printed and published as soon as possible.

I should like to express to you and to the members of both Committees my best thanks for the time and energies which you and they have devoted to this task, and my appreciation of the co-operative spirit which has led to the successful conclusion of the negotiations.

Yours sincerely,        
GEORGE TOMLINSON.

1. The scales of salary apply to teachers (other than Supplementary teachers or Occasional teachers) who are employed in full-time service exclusively in that capacity in schools maintained :by local education authorities as County, Controlled, Aided (including schools deemed to be aided under Section 32 of the Education Act, 1944) and Special Agreement Schools conducted under the Primary and Secondary Schools (Grant Conditions) Regulations and in Special Schools maintained by local education authorities and conducted under the Handicapped Pupils and School Health Service Regulations in force from time to time. Having regard to the requirement of Regulation 27(c) of the former Regulations, teachers in schools which are assisted by a local education authority during the transitional period will be subject to the same salary conditions as teachers in schools which are maintained by the Authority. Provision has accordingly been made in paragraph 3 of Section N for the inclusion of pupils on the registers of transitionally assisted schools in the calculation of the amount of the "Area Pool" available to the Authority.

2. Remuneration for residential duties by emoluments or otherwise is a matter for determination apart from the provisions of these scales.

3. Special provisions relating to the assessment of the salaries of teachers who build up full-time teaching service by combining service in Primary and Secondary Schools and in Establishments for Further Education and recommendations relating to the remuneration of teachers who are appointed on a day-to-day or other short notice basis are embodied in Appendix I.

4. As there is no formal representation on the Committee of schools other than those maintained by local education authorities, the scales do not directly apply to such other schools. The Committee anticipate, however, that the findings herein contained will receive the serious consideration of those controlling such other schools.

1. A Qualified Teacher is a teacher who possesses qualifications approved by the Minister for the purposes of Regulation 15 (2) of the Primary and Secondary Schools (Grant Conditions) Regulations, 1945, or the corresponding Regulations in force from time to time.

2. The scales for Qualified Assistant Teachers shall be as follows:

For Men. Minimum £375 per annum rising by annual increments of £18 and one final increment of £21 to a maximum of £630 per annum.

For Women. Minimum £338 per annum rising by annual increments of £15 and one final increment of £16 to a maximum of £504 per annum.

[page 2]

1. The additions referred to in this Section are payable to Qualified Teachers employed in Primary and Secondary Schools including Special Schools except where otherwise stated.

2. Additions for Training

For teachers who satisfy the conditions laid down in Appendix IV, additions up to a maximum of three increments, each of £18 in the case of men and of £15 in the case of women, are payable in addition to the minimum and maximum of the appropriate scale.

3. Additions for Graduates

For teachers who hold any of the qualifications set out in Appendix V, the minimum and maximum of the appropriate scale shall be increased (or in the case of teachers qualifying for the additions under the preceding paragraph shall be further increased) by £60 in the case of men and £48 in the case of women.

4. Additions to the Minimum of the Scale in respect of Experience gained prior to the date on which a Teacher is deemed to have obtained the qualifications by virtue of which he/she is approved as a Qualified Teacher

Subject to the limitations and conditions set out in Appendix VI, the following additions to the minimum of the scale of salary shall be paid irrespective of any other additions to which the teacher may be entitled under any other provisions of Section C.

(a) For teachers having obtained, by virtue of long service, the status of Qualified Teacher under paragraph 10(viii) of the Ministry's Circular 30 (or paragraph 6 of Circular 173) and having, at the date of qualification for that status, previous teaching service or other gainful employment after attaining the age of 18 years amounting to 23 years or more, there shall be added to the minimum of the appropriate scale a sum of £18 in the case of men and of £15 in the case of women in respect of each period of three years in excess of 20 years.

(b) For teachers (other than cases of the particular types defined in the paragraphs 4(a) above and 4(c) below) who, either before or during the operation of these scales, obtain the qualifications by virtue of which they are approved as Qualified Teachers, and who at the date of qualification were more than 21 years of age, an addition to the minimum of the scale shall be made as follows.

In respect of each period of three years' experience gained after the age of 18 years in teaching, industrial, professional, clerical, social or other gainful employment, a sum of £18 in the case of men and of £15 in the case of women:

Provided, however, that where part of such experience (other than teaching) gained after the age of 21 years is deemed by the Local Education Authority to be of exceptional value to the teacher in the performance of his/her particular duties, the Authority may allow one such addition in respect of each year of experience which they approve for the purpose.

The service or experience to be taken into account in assessing the appropriate addition in any particular case under the conditions of this paragraph shall not include any period of teaching or other experience which is regarded by the Ministry as part of the qualification for the status of Qualified Teacher, provided, however, that such periods which have

[page 3]

been so taken into account under the provisions of the Burnham Primary and Secondary Schools Report, 1948, shall continue to be recognised under the provisions of this Report.

(c) For teachers who obtain the status of Qualified Teacher after satisfactorily completing a course of "Special Training" under the provisions of Regulation 6 of Grant Regulations No. 7B, 1947 (or the corresponding Regulation in force from time to time), the conditions laid down in paragraph 4(b) above are applicable, except that the period of teaching service between the date of application for admission to the course of Special Training and the date of entry upon the course shall be reckoned on the following basis:

Where such period is less than one year, it shall be aggregated with previous service and reckoned under paragraph 4(b) above.

Where such period is one year or more, the addition shall be as follows:

1 year but less than 3 years - £18 in the case of a man and £15 in the case of a woman.
3 years but less than 5 years - £36 in the case of a man and £30 in the case of a woman.

Assistant teachers in schools maintained by local education authorities and conducted under the Primary and Secondary Schools (Grant Conditions) Regulations, 1945 (or the corresponding Regulations in force from time to time), who are engaged full-time in taking charge of special classes consisting wholly of children who are partially deaf or partially sighted shall receive over and above any additions to the scale provided for in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of Section C above, the addition referred to in paragraph 6 (a) below and, where the conditions of paragraph 6 (b) are satisfied, the further addition provided by that paragraph.

6. Additions applicable to Teachers employed in Special Schools

(a) For teachers employed in Special Schools, the minimum and the maximum of the appropriate scale shall be increased (or in the case of teachers qualifying for other additions provided by Section C, shall be further increased) by £36 in the case of men and £30 in the case of women.

(b) For teachers employed in Special Schools who hold a special qualification for the teaching of the blind or the deaf which is required by the Regulations and is approved by the Minister for that purpose, and so long as they are engaged in teaching blind, deaf or partially deaf children, the minimum and the maximum of the scale shall be increased (or in the case of teachers qualifying for other additions provided by Section C, shall be further increased) by £30 in the case of men and £24 in the case of women.

Note: Qualifications obtained as a result of the following examinations satisfy this condition:

(1) The examination for the School Teachers Diploma of the College of Teachers of the Blind.

(2) The examination for the Teachers Diploma of the National College of Teachers of the Deaf (formerly the Diploma of the Joint Examinations Board for Teachers of the Deaf).

(3) The Final Examination of the One-Year Course of Training for Teachers of the Deaf conducted by the Department of Education of the Deaf at Manchester University.

[page 4]

1. An Unqualified Teacher is a teacher whose employment is allowed under Regulation 15(3)(a) or 15(3)(c) of the Primary and Secondary Schools (Grant Conditions) Regulations, 1945, or the corresponding Regulations in force from time to time.

For Men. Minimum £225 per annum rising by annual increments of £15 to a maximum of £375 per annum.
For Women. Minimum £202 per annum rising by annual increments of £12 and one final increment of £4 to a maximum of £338 per annum.

3. The types of teaching service and/or other experience which are recognised for increments on the scales, and the method of determining the correct position of a teacher upon the scales are indicated in Appendices II and III, and illustrated by examples in Appendix IX where the scales are set out in full.

1. The additions which are provided for Qualified Teachers under conditions as laid down in paragraphs 5 and 6(a) of Section C apply equally to Unqualified Teachers who are employed in similar circumstances, except that the amounts of the additions to the scale under each of the paragraphs referred to shall be £30 in the case of men and £24 in the case of women.

These amounts are payable in addition to those for which a teacher may qualify under the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Section.

3. For Unqualified Teachers who have had previous experience as Supplementary Teachers, there shall be added to the minimum of the appropriate scale a sum of £15 in the case of men and of £12 in the case of women in respect of each period of 3 years of such experience gained after the age of 18 years.

Note: The conditions laid down in paragraph 1 of Appendix VI apply in making an assessment of the addition under this provision.

The scales and the conditions of their application as set out in Sections D and E shall apply in the period prior to admission to a recognised course of teacher training.

[page 5]

3. For Temporary Teachers who have had previous experience as Supplementary Teachers, there shall be added to the minimum of the appropriate scale a sum of £15 in the case of men and of £12 in the case of women in respect of each period of 3 years of such experience gained after the age of 18 years.

Note: The conditions laid down in paragraph 1 of Appendix VI apply in making an assessment of the addition under this provision.

1. Qualified Head Teachers of such schools or departments shall receive the salaries payable to them as Qualified Teachers under the conditions of Section B and paragraphs 1 to 4 of Section C together with a Head Teacher Allowance.

2. The amount of the Head Teacher Allowance shall be ascertained on the basis of the "unit total" as assessed for the particular school or department.

3. A Superintendent Teacher of a Nursery School is classed as a Head Teacher for salary purposes.

[page 6]

4. The method of calculating the "unit total" for a school or department and the basis of its application to determine the appropriate Head Teacher Allowance in particular circumstances are laid down in Appendix VII. In that Appendix are stated the conditions governing the normal intervals of time at which there shall be a general review of the "unit total" of schools or departments and the special circumstances in which such review shall be undertaken at other times in individual cases.

5. The amounts of the Head Teacher Allowances shall be as follows:

6. (a) In cases where, by reason of the operation of the provisions of subsection 9A(I)(e) of the Burnham Primary and Secondary Schools Report, 1948 (see Appendix VIII), the head teacher was eligible to receive on 31st March, 1951, a higher salary than the total remuneration payable under the other provisions of this Section, such higher salary will continue to be payable until the teacher ceases to be head teacher of the same school, or until 31st March, 1952, whichever is the earlier.

(b) In any such case, it is a condition of the continued payment of the higher remuneration provided under paragraph 6(a) above, that the teacher has not, for reasons which do not satisfy the Authority, refused transfer to another school in respect of which appointment he would have received, by the application of the provisions of this Report, a total salary at the same or a higher rate.

7. (a) An allowance may be paid to an assistant teacher who takes charge of a school or department in the absence of the regular head teacher or pending the appointment of a new head teacher. Such allowance is payable only during the period when the assistant takes charge of the school, and should be subject to such maximum limits as will ensure that the total rate of remuneration is not in excess of that which would be payable to the teacher if appointed as head teacher of the particular school or department.

An allowance to a head teacher may similarly be paid when he/she temporarily fills the head teacher post of a school or department for which the Head Teacher Allowance is higher than that payable to him/her immediately prior to transfer.

(b) A local education authority may fill temporarily vacant head teacher posts by retaining on its permanent "supply staff" one or more teachers paid at the rates applicable to head teachers of schools or departments in Groups O, I or II.

[page 7]

1. Qualified Head Teachers of Special Schools shall receive the salaries payable to them as Qualified Teachers under the conditions of Section B and paragraphs 1 to 4 and 6 of Section C together with a Head Teacher Allowance.

2. The provisions of paragraphs 2, 4, 6 and 7(a) of Section J are applicable. The basis for calculating the "unit total" shall be as laid down for Special Schools in Appendix VII.

3. The amounts of the Head Teacher Allowances shall be as follows:

1. Unqualified Head Teachers of such schools are those whose employment is approved under Regulation 15(3)(d) of the Primary and Secondary Schools (Grant Conditions) Regulations or the corresponding Regulations in force from time to time.

3. A Superintendent Teacher of a Nursery School is classed as a Head Teacher for salary purposes.

The salaries of Unqualified Head Teachers of Special Schools will be those payable as Unqualified Assistant Teachers under Sections D and E (except that paragraph 5 of Section C is not, in any case, applicable) together with a Head Teacher Allowance of £80 in the case of men and £75 in the case of women.

[page 8]

1. For Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools or Departments, other than Special Schools.

Prescribed ranges of expenditure upon allowances for individual schools or departments.

(a) For assistant teachers there shall be special allowances (over and above the remuneration otherwise payable) for special responsibility, special work of an advanced character, special academic, professional or industrial qualifications, or for other masons which in the opinion of the Authority justify such allowances. Allowances shall not be granted in such manner as would effect a general alteration of the operation of the salary scales.

(b) The number of assistant teachers to receive special allowances, and the rates of the allowances to be paid in individual cases are matters at the discretion of the Local Education Authority, subject to the following conditions: -

(i) no such allowance shall be at a rate less than £40 per annum ; (ii) except under the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Section, the annual expenditure upon allowances for assistant teachers in a school or department shall lie within the prescribed range of expenditure for that school or department as ascertained on the basis laid down in paragraph (c) below.

(c) The range of the total amounts within which allowances shall be paid to assistant teachers in a particular school or department (irrespective of any additional payments out of the " Area Pool ") shall be determined in accordance with the following Table in which these amounts are assessed by reference to the unit total of the school or department (see Part C of Appendix VIl).

	Range within which allowances shall be paid irrespective of any additional payments out of the "Area Pool"
	£	£
For unit totals between 101 and 200	-	50
For unit totals between 201 and 250	40	60
For unit totals between 251 and 350	40	100
For unit totals between 351 and 400	80	120

For schools or departments with unit totals exceeding 400, there shall be additions to the last named ranges of £80 and £120 in respect of each 100 units, one-fifth of the appropriate addition being allowed for each 20, or part of 20, in excess of a complete 100. The appropriate additions are:

	Range within which allowances shall be paid irrespective of any additional payments out of the "Area Pool"
	£	£
For each 100 units between 401 and 700	50	75
For each 100 units between 701 and 1200	75	110
For each 100 units between 1201 and 2000	90	135
For each 100 units over 2000	100	150

A Table showing in more detail the ranges of amounts appropriate to schools according to their unit totals is given in Appendix VII.

[page 9]

2. For Teachers in Special Schools

(a) For assistant teachers in Special Schools there shall be special allowances (over and above the remuneration otherwise payable) for special responsibility, special work of an advanced character, special academic, professional or industrial qualifications, or for other reasons which in the opinion of the Authority justify such allowances. Allowances shall not be granted in such manner as would effect a general alteration of the operation of the salary scales.

(b) No such allowance shall be at a rate less than £40 per annum.

(c) The expenditure upon allowances for teachers in Special Schools shall be a charge upon the "Area Pool" available to the Local Education Authority under paragraph 3 below.

3. "Area Pool"

(a) In addition to the ranges of expenditure for individual schools or departments within which allowances are payable to assistant teachers under the provisions of paragraph 1 above, for each local education authority area there shall be a sum within which payments made in accordance with the other provisions of this Section shall fall.

(b) This sum (which is described herein as the "Area Pool"), for any financial year beginning on 1st April, shall be calculated on the basis of four shillings [20p] for each pupil enrolled on the registers of the Primary, Secondary and Special Schools or Departments maintained by the Authority, and schools assisted by the Authority under Regulation 27 of the Primary and Secondary Schools (Grant Conditions) Regulations, taken together, the number of enrolled pupils being that shown on Ministry of Education Forms 7 (Schools) submitted after 1st January immediately preceding the financial year together with the number of enrolled children in Nursery Schools and Special Schools maintained by the Local Education Authority as at the date taken for the purposes of Forms 7 (Schools).

(c) Payments out of the "Area Pool", as in the case of other special allowances, are subject to the condition that they shall not be granted in such manner as would effect a general alteration of the operation of the salary scales.

(d) In order to meet the particular needs of a Primary, Secondary or Special School or Department, the Local Education Authority may make special allowances, for purposes such as those indicated below, in addition to the allowances which are payable in accordance with the other provisions of this Section.

(i) to pay increased allowances or additional allowances to assistant teachers involving expenditure in excess of the upper range of the school allocation of allowance expenditure;

(ii) to pay a special allowance to an unqualified or temporary teacher when it is considered by the Authority that the salary otherwise payable is not adequate having regard to the qualifications or experience of the teacher concerned for specialised forms of teaching;

(iii) to pay a special allowance to a head teacher where the Authority considers that the salary otherwise payable is not adequate having regard to the duties and responsibilities involved;

(iv) to pay a special allowance to mitigate or prevent hardship to a head or assistant teacher whose post is lost, or whose salary is diminished, as a result of the reorganisation or closure of a school or department, or where the Authority is satisfied that there are other good reasons for such

[page 10]

allowance. (The Committee draw the attention of local education authorities to the future change of date for the calculation of "unit totals" - see paragraph 1 of Part A of Appendix VII - and to the possible effects, in relation to Infants' Schools and other Primary Schools admitting infants, arising from admissions of children after the first day of opening in January.)

1. There shall be additional payments for teachers serving in the "London Area" as defined in paragraph 3 of this Section. Such payments shall be at the rate of £36 per annum, provided that as from the date on which the teacher has completed 16 years of full-time service in the "London Area" or elsewhere, or has attained the age of 37 years, whichever is the earlier, the rate shall be raised to £48 per annum.

2. Teachers serving in schools situated outside the "London Area" are not entitled to receive the additional payments, except that teachers normally serving in the "London Area", but temporarily employed by a "London Area" authority elsewhere, are so entitled.

3. The following areas shall be deemed to constitute the "London Area":

(a) The Administrative County of London.
(b) The County of Middlesex.
(c) In the County of Surrey:

(i) The County Borough of Croydon.
(ii) The Borough of Richmond.
(iii) The Borough of Barnes.
(iv) The Borough of Wimbledon.
(v) The Borough of Mitcham.
(vi) The Urban District of Merton and Morden.

(d) In the County of Essex:

(i) The County Borough of East Ham.
(ii) The County Borough of West Ham.
(iii) The Borough of Barking.
(iv) The Borough of Ilford.
(v) The Borough of Leyton.
(vi) The Borough of Walthamstow.

(e) In the County of Kent:

(i) The Borough of Beckenham.
(ii) The Borough of Bromley.
(iii) The Urban District of Penge.

[page 11]

4. Teachers who were employed on 31st March, 1945, by the Borough of Erith Part III Authority shall, provided they continued to serve in the schools in the area of the former Authority until 31st March, 1951, and for so long as they continue so to serve, receive an addition to the salary otherwise appropriate to them under the provisions of the salary scales. The amount of such addition shall be the difference between the scale salary which would have been applicable to them at any time under Scale III and Scale IV respectively of the Report of the Burnham Elementary Committee, 1938.

5. The Burnham Committee has agreed to establish a Tribunal of independent persons to consider and make recommendations relating to (a) the "London Area" and (b) territorial allowances. When the report of this Tribunal is received the position will be further considered by the Burnham Committee.

No increment shall be withheld in respect of any year unless the service for that year has been declared unsatisfactory by the Local Education Authority. The withholding of an increment under this Section shall be limited in its effect on the salary payable for the one year during which the increment is withheld, unless the Local Education Authority otherwise expressly determines.

1. Except where expressly provided elsewhere in the conditions of the salary scales, no teacher in service on 31st March, 1951, shall receive, by reason of the operation of these scales, a smaller rate of salary than he/she would have been eligible to receive under the operation of the Burnham Report as in force on that date.

2. For the purpose of the foregoing provision, "salary" as at 31st March, 1951, does not include an allowance granted under Section 8(a) of the Burnham Primary and Secondary Schools Report, 1948. (See Appendix VIII.)

These scales come into force on 1st April, 1951, and shall continue in operation until 31st March, 1954, and thereafter from year to year unless either Panel shall give to the other Panel not less than one year's notice in writing to terminate the operation of the scales on the 31st March in any year.

There shall be appointed a Joint Committee of Reference, consisting of 10 members nominated by the representatives of local education authorities on the Committee, and 10 members nominated by the representatives of the Teachers, and the Honorary Secretaries ex officio; to which Committee shall stand referred for consideration and report to the Burnham Committee any matter relating to the interpretation of the provisions of this Report brought forward by a local education authority acting through the Authorities' Panel or by any association of teachers acting through the Teachers' Panel or by consent of the Chairman of the Burnham Committee.

[page 12]

1. Assessment of the salaries of teachers who build up full-time teaching service by combining service in Primary and Secondary Schools and in Establishments for Further Education which are covered by the scales for full-time teachers in such Establishments.

Where full-time service of each type would be remunerated at different rates, the salary shall be computed as follows:

teachers who devote one-half or more of their time to the more highly paid service shall be paid at the higher rate for all work; in other cases payment shall be made at the lower rate for all work.

The Committee recommend to local education authorities:

(a) that such teachers should be remunerated according to their qualifications and experience at a daily or weekly rate calculated by reference to the number of days or weeks during which the school is open in the year; e.g., where a school is open for 200 days during 40 weeks:

Daily rate: 1/200th of annual rate.
Weekly rate: 1/40th of annual rate.

(b) that a teacher paid on this basis and employed continuously throughout the year by the same Local Education Authority should not receive a total salary in excess of or less than the salary payable in accordance with the prescribed scale in respect of the year's service.

(c) that a teacher who is employed continuously for a term or more should not be paid on a short notice basis.

Method of computing the number of increments in respect of service in the current capacity in determining the salary applicable to a teacher on the appropriate salary scale.

1. The conditions in this Appendix and those in respect of war service in Appendix III relate to teaching service, or other service or experience (which is accepted as equivalent to teaching service) in respect of which increments are payable to a teacher on the salary scale applicable in his/her current capacity. Increments accrue on completion of years of service which are so recognised.

2. The provisions of this Appendix have no application in determining the service or experience which is to be taken into account in assessing the addition to the minimum of the appropriate scales for Qualified, Unqualified and Temporary Teachers which is provided by paragraph 4 of Section C, paragraph 3 of Section E and paragraph 3 of Section H. Conditions which govern the assessment of such additions are set out in Appendix VII, but the over-riding limitation in paragraph 2 of that Appendix should be noted.

3. The scale upon which service under the National Service Act, service as a Reservist and a period of disablement shall be counted (such service and disablement being reckoned as equivalent to teaching service subject to the conditions of paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 of Part C of this Appendix) is the scale appropriate to the status of the teacher upon his/her subsequent entry or re-entry into teaching service; provided, however, that if the teacher should at some later date obtain the status of Qualified Teacher all the service and disablement which is reckonable under paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 below shall thereafter be counted for increments on the scale for Qualified Teachers.

4. The Committee recommend local education authorities to adopt 1st April as a uniform incremental date. In adjusting salaries the general principle which applies is that teachers who remain continuously in service throughout a year beginning on 1st April shall receive the same salary in respect of that year as if increments were given on individual incremental dates on completing an

[page 13]

integral number of years of service. In reckoning service for this purpose the number of odd days should be ignored or counted as one month according as it is, or is not less than 15, i.e., the date of completion of a year's service should be taken as the first of the month which is nearest to the actual date.

In conformity with this general principle, the calculation of salary in the case of migrants and of teachers discontinuing service and resuming it in the same area is that teachers of the same qualifications and the same amount of service at any particular time who are employed by the same Local Education Authority in similar conditions should have the same rate of salary. This rate is, therefore, determined by considering what salary an existing teacher would be receiving who had been continuously employed in the area and had the same service as the migrant at the date of appointment. An exception to this rule is made in a case where the salary of a teacher has been assessed for a year beginning on 1st April and he/she has subsequently a break in service during that year. Provided the teacher resumes service after the break under the same Authority and in the same status, the rate as so assessed is retained for the remainder of the year.

5. Aggregation for increment purposes of periods of service of less than one year shall be in accordance with the following arrangements:

(a) The complete calendar months shall be totalled.

(b) The odd days at the beginning and end of all periods of service in respect of which increments on the scale are payable where the service included a complete calendar month, and all the days of service where it did not, shall be aggregated and the total thus ascertained divided by 30.

(c) The quotient shall be taken as complete months to be added to (a) above, and the remainder shall count as one month, or shall not count, according as it is 15 days or over, or less than 15 days.

(d) In the case of teachers paid at daily rates, service continuing on both sides of the week-end shall be regarded as including the week-end, but the school vacations shall not be included unless the teacher has a continuous engagement. Neither the incidence of a financial year beginning on 1st April, nor a change of employment is regarded as affecting the continuity of service which otherwise runs continuously.

The recognition or non-recognition for increments on the appropriate salary scale of teaching service, and of other experience or employment for the purpose of assessing the correct position of a teacher on that scale.

Note. War Service is recognised for this purpose as equivalent to teaching service subject to the special conditions set out in Appendix III.

1. In determining the correct position of a teacher at any time on the appropriate scales, as laid down in Sections B, D and G, the following service shall be taken into account:

(a) Service of the types and under the conditions in Part C of this Appendix.
(b) War Service within the limits and under the conditions in Appendix III.

1. No period shall rank both as a period in respect of which an increment for teaching or other service accrues and as a period recognised for the purposes of the addition to scale salary in respect of training as provided by paragraph 2 of Section C.

2. No period of service under the age of 18 years shall be recognised in any capacity under this Appendix.

3. The following are examples of service which is not teaching service for increments under the conditions of this Appendix but which may be dealt with by the Local Education Authority under the provisions of paragraph 8 of this Part of this Appendix:

(a) Service as Private Tutor.

[page 14]

(b) Service in Nursery Schools or Classes, War-time Nurseries, War-time Nursery Classes, Residential or Day Nurseries as Nursery Assistant or in a capacity other than that of teacher.

[page 16]

than under paragraph 10(viii) of the Ministry's Circular 30 or paragraph 6 of Circular 173) entitling him/her to be approved as a qualified teacher, the war service shall be counted on the scale appropriate to him/her after obtaining such qualification. In cases excepted from the foregoing proviso, increments do not accrue in respect of a period of war service which has been taken into account as part of the qualification for the status of Qualified Teacher.

3. The following conditions are applicable in connection with the counting of war service for increment:

(a) Service before the age of 18 years shall not be counted.

(b) In cases where, because of national emergency, full-time service was undertaken in a period immediately prior to 1st September, 1939, and such service continued after that date as war service within the definition of paragraph 1 above, the whole period is eligible to be taken into account.

(c) War service is service of the types described above which is performed in the period not later than 31st March, 1949, and, except in the special circumstances indicated below, includes the period of leave (up to that limiting date) which is allowed prior to release from H.M. Forces.

(d) Where, however, a teacher undertakes full-time teaching service or other whole-time gainful employment, or enters upon or resumes a course of study or training during the period of release leave, the following arrangements may be applied:

(i) Service after entry or re-entry into teaching service is reckoned as teaching service except in cases where, in the assessment of salary on the appropriate scale it is to the teacher's advantage that it should alternatively be counted as war service.

(ii) A period of whole-time gainful employment of other kinds during release leave is ignored and the release leave counted in full as war service. Where, however, such period of employment would otherwise be taken into account for purposes of an addition to the minimum of the scale for Qualified Teachers under paragraph 4(a)(ii) of Section C, the period may alternatively be so reckoned when, in the assessment of salary, it would be more advantageous to the teacher to do so.

(iii) A period devoted to full-time study or training during release leave will be ignored and the release leave counted in full as war service. Where, however, such period, if taken into account as approved study or training, would affect the teacher's entitlement to an addition to scale salary under paragraph 2 of Section C, it may alternatively be so reckoned.

War service rendered by teachers during the previous war beginning in 1914 is recognised within the limits and under the conditions specified in Appendix V of the Burnham Reports of 1938 (see Appendix VIII).

[page 23]

1. In applying the provisions of paragraphs 4 (a), (b) and (c) of Section C, of paragraph 3 of Section E and paragraph 3 of Section H, a period of 11 months 15 days or more, or a balance of 11 months 15 days or more in excess of a number of completed years, is reckoned as a complete year.

Further, in assessing the additions to the minimum in respect of "each period of three years", a period, being not less than three years, exceeds a multiple of three by not less than two, it shall be treated as if it were the next higher multiple of three.

2. In the case of Qualified Teachers, war service which, under the conditions of Appendix III, is eligible to be reckoned for increments on the Qualified Teacher scale, shall not be taken into account in determining the maximum number of increments allowable in accordance with sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) below, subject however to the special provisions of paragraph 3(d) of Part A of Appendix Ill.

(a) In applying the provisions of paragraphs 4 (b) and (c) of Section C, no teacher shall receive more than 10 increments in respect of experience gained prior to the date of qualification for the status of Qualified Teacher, either (i) for teaching experience, or (ii) for experience of other kinds, or (iii) for teaching and other experience taken together.

For the year 1953 and succeeding years, the roll shall be that shown on Ministry of Education Form 7 (Schools) for the year concerned. In the case of a Nursery or Special School, the number on roll shall be as at the date taken for the purposes of Form 7 (Schools).

2. In the case of a Primary or Secondary School or Department, other than a Special School, the number of pupils as thus ascertained is further classified according to their ages as at 31st March following.

3. In the case of Special Schools, a procedure similar to that described in paragraph 1 above shall be followed. The further classification of the enrolled pupils shall be on the basis of the type or types of special educational treatment provided for the enrolled pupils and not according to their ages. This procedure is applicable equally to a school which is recognised as providing special educational treatment of more than one type, as to a school recognised as providing one type only.

The "unit total" is calculated as follows:

4. The unit total is assessed for a school or department and is used as the basis (a) of determining the Head Teacher Allowance for the teacher who is head of the school or department as laid down in Sections J and K, and (b) the total sum to be expended upon allowances for assistant teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools or Departments (but not Special Schools) as laid down in Section N.

The Provisions in the paragraphs which follow are related to those in Sections J and K.

1. Subject to the conditions of paragraphs 2 and 3 immediately following, the Head Teacher Allowance for the year beginning 1st April, 1951, shall be calculated on the unit total for 1949, and for the three years beginning 1st April, 1952, on the average of the unit totals for the three years 1950, 1951 and 1952 calculated to the nearest whole number. For every three years thereafter, the same procedure shall apply with appropriate adjustment of dates.

2. The Head Teacher Ailowance for tlhe Head of a school or department which was newly opened or reorganised in the period of the operation of the 1948 Report on Scales of Salaries for Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools shall be assessed, as respects the period up to 31st March, 1955, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9A(1)(d) of that Report (see Appendix VIII). ln the case of a school or department newly opened or reorganised during the years beginning 1st April, 1951, 1952 or 1953, the allowance payable from the date of opening or reorganisation, until the end of the third complete financial year thereafter, shall be based on the estimated unit total for the year in which that period ends.

3. For the purposes of the foregoing provisions, the Committee contemplate that local education authorities will regard a school or department as having been reorganised if (a) a change occurs which alters the character of the organisation in the sense e.g. that it will cater for pupils of different age range or sex, or (b) if, the organisation remaining unchanged, the Authority takes some action in the interests of educational organisation the effect of which would be significantly to add to or reduce the number of children who will normally be enrolled. The latter provision should not be regarded as applicable to a case where, due to circumstances other than those directly resulting from such decision by the Authority, the increase or decline in numbers of pupils is due to other causes.

The provisions of the paragraphs which follow are related to those in Section N.

1. For the year beginning 1st April, 1951, the prescribed ranges of expenditure upon allowances for teachers in individual schools or departments as laid down in paragraph 1 of Section N shall be assessed by reference to the unit totals for the year 1949. The ranges of such expenditure for the three years beginning 1st April, 1952, shall be assessed by reference to the average of the unit totals for the three years 1950, 1951 and 1952 taken to the nearest whole number,

[page 25]

2. In the case of a school or department newly opened or reorganised, the ranges of expenditure for the purposes of paragraph 1 of Section N shall be assessed as follows:

(a) For the period from the date of opening or reorganisation until 31st March in the first year for which an actual "unit total" is ascertainable
On the basis of the estimated "unit total" for the year in which this period ends (see paragraph 1 of Part A of this Appendix), the amounts payable being an appropriate proportion of the ranges of expenditure for a full year.
(b) For each of the three financial years beginning on 1st April next following
On the basis of the actual "unit totals" for each of those years respectively.
(c) For the period of three years thereafter beginning on 1st April
On the average of the "unit totials" for the three years at (b) above taken to the nearest whole number.

Relevant Sections of previous Reports which are referred to in the main text of this Report are reproduced below.

1. Section 9A(1)(e) of fhe Burnham Primary and Secondary Schools Report, 1948 (to which paragraph 6(a) of Section J of this Report refers):

9A(1)(e)(i) In cases where by reason of the operation of the provisions of the Primary and Secondary Schools Report, 1945, the head teacher was eligible to receive on 31st March, 1948, a higher salary than the total remuneration payable under the other provisions of this Section, such higher salary will continue to be payable until the teacher ceases to be head teacher of the same school, or until 31st March, 1952, whichever is the earlier.

(ii) In any such case, it is a condition of the continued payment of the higher remuneration provided in sub-section 9A(1)(e)(i) above that the teacher has not, for reasons which do not satisfy the Authority, refused transfer to another school in respect of which appointment he would have received, by the application of the provisions of this Report, a total salary at the same or a higher rate.

2. Section 4(a) of the 1920 Secondary Report (to which paragraph 3(g) of Section N of this Report refers):

"Additions to the above scales (Scales for Assistant Masters and iMistresses).
For a good Honours degree (as defined in Section 6), to the minimum £25; to the maximum £50, the normal scale increments to apply throughout."
Section 4(3)(a) of the 1921 Technical Report is in similar sense.

Section 6 (a), (b) and (c) of the 1920 Secondary Report reads as follows:

"6(a) For the purpose of computing the salary under these scales, a first-class honours degree of any University in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shall be recognised as a good honours degree, and successful research work or other post-graduate achievement may be similarly recognised.

(b) A second-class honours degree shall not be so recognised unless the circumstances appear to merit such recognition.

(c) Where a Local Education Authority has refused to recognise a second-class honours degree for this purpose, the Teacher concerned may appeal to the Reference Committee (to be appointed under Section 21) against the decision of the Local Education Authority, always provided that such appeal has been sanctioned by the Teachers' Panel of the Standing Joint Committee."

[page 27]

Section 8(b) of the Primary and Secondary Schools Report of 1948 reads as follows:

"(b) A teacher who, on 31st March, 1948, was in receipt of an allowance originally awarded under Section 4(a) of the 1920 Secondary Report or Section 4(3)(a) of the 1921 Technical Report of the Burnham Committee shall, so long as he/she remains on the staff of the school, continue to receive an allowance over and above the scale salary at a rate not less than that which the teacher was entitled to receive on 31st March, 1948, under Section 9(b) of the Burnham Primary and Secondary Schools Report, 1945, provided that such an allowance shall not be held concurrently with an addition under sub-section 4(c)(ii) of this Report.

An allowance under the conditions of this sub-section is payable in addition to any allowance which may be granted to the teacher under the conditions of sub-section 8(a) above."

8.(a) For assistant teachers there shall be special posts in respect of which allowances over and above the scale salary shall be granted for special responsibility, special work of an advanced character, special academic, professional or industrial qualifications, or other circumstances which in the opinion of the Authority justify an addition to the scale. Allowances over and above the scale salary for assistant teachers shall not be granted in such manner as would effect a general alteration in the operation of the scales.

For each Local Education Authority area the number, value and distribution of such posts shall be decided by the Authority,* subject to the following conditions:

(i) The number of posts for any year shall be not less than 12½ per cent or more than 17½ per cent of the number of full-time qualified assistant teachers employed on 1st April of that year† in schools to which this Report applies.

(ii) The amounts of the allowances shall be:
For Men: not less than £50 per annum; not more than £150 per annum.
For Women: not less than £40 per annum; not more than £120 per annum.

(iii) Where the Local Education Authority considers in any particular case that an allowance of £150 in the case of a man or £120 in the case of a woman is not adequate, having regard to the duties and responsibilities involved, the Authority may make representations to the Minister with a view to securing such addition thereto as the Minister shall approve.

Appendix V of Burnham Elementary Report, 1938.

Men Teachers

1. In respect of teachers who fall into the categories referred to in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 below, War Service of the following kinds may be reckoned as equivalent to teaching service:

(a) War Service (as soldiers, sailors or airmen) with H.M. Forces.
N.B.In the case of teachers who were transferred to Army Reserve W, such service with Army Reserve W is not service with the Forces of the Crown within the meaning of this paragraph; the date of demobilisation, however, for the purposes of paragraphs 3 (c), (d) and (e) below, may be taken to be the date of discharge from Army Reserve W.

†For this purpose teachers who are employed full-time but who spend three-quarters or more of their time in service in schools to which this Report relates shall be deemed to be in full-time service in such schools. Teachers who spend more than one-quarter but less than three-quarters of their time in service in such schools shall be treated for the purpose of this Section as if two such teachers were equivalent to one full-time teacher. Teachers who spend one-quarter or less of their time in schools to which this Report relates shall not be included.

[page 28]

(b) A period of disablement, up to a maximum of 12 months, provided that satisfactory evidence is produced that the teacher was unable to resume teaching duties, or in the cases referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 below, to complete his preparation for the teaching profession, after demobilisation, owing to medical treatment for wounds or other disabilities contracted when on War Service with H.M. Forces.

(c) War service with allied armies in a combatant capacity, provided that the teacher was in recognised teaching service in England, Wales or Scotland before the War.

(d) War service which has been accepted by the Naval and Military Authority for the purpose of the issue of the Victory Medal or the Mercantile Marine War Medal.

3. In the following cases where teachers were in definite stages of acquiring qualifications for employment as Certificated Teacher, and would, in the ordinary course, have obtained permanent employment in that capacity at a considerably earlier date if they had not joined the Forces, war service may be reckoned as equivalent to teaching service as a Certificated Teacher:

(a) Students whose Training College course was interrupted during the War, and who either completed a course satisfactorily after demobilisation, or were given a Provisional Certificate;

(b) Students who before joining the Forces had been accepted by a Training College for admission and who either completed a course satisfactorily after demobilisation, or obtained recognition as Certificated Teachers by passing the Acting Teacher's Certificate Examination not later than the first examination following the expiry of 12 months from the date of demobilisation;

(c) Pupil Teachers and Student Teachers, who before joining the Forces, although not yet accepted by a Training College for admission, were then qualified for admission, and who either entered a Training College at the earliest opportunity after demobilisation and completed the course satisfactorily, or passed the Acting Teacher's Certificate Examination not later than the first examination following the expiry of 12 months from the date of demobilisation;

(d) Uncertificated Teachers of not more than two years' standing at the time of joining the Forces, who either (a) entered a Training College within 12 months of demobilisation and completed a course of training satisfactorily; or (b) passed the Acting Teacher's Certificate Examination not later than the next Examination following expiry of 12 months from the date of demobilisation;

(e) Uncertificated Teachers of not more than two years' standing at the time of joining the Forces, who were unable to enter Training College within 12 months of demobilisation owing to wounds or other disabilities contracted when on war service, or to lack of Training College accommodation, and who either:

(i) Entered a Training College within two years of demobilisation (or of the Armistice, if demobilisation took place before the Armistice) and completed a course of Training satisfactorily; or

(ii) Passed the Acting Teacher's Certificate Examination not later than the next examination following the expiry of two years from the date of demobilisation.

In cases where a claim is made on the ground of lack of Training College accommodation, evidence will be required that the teacher made application for entry to Training College within 12 months of demobilisation (or of the Armistice, if demobilisation took place before the Armistice).

5. In the case of Handicraft Teachers who before enlistment were undergoing a course of training in a Training College for Handicraft (e.g., Shoreditch or one of the Scottish Training Colleges), and whose course of training was interrupted by war service, the war service may be counted on the scale which is appropriate to the teachers' status after the War.
N.B. This does not apply to other teachers who claim to have been preparing, for example, for the City and Guilds Examination.

[page 29]

6. Public Elementary School Teachers who immediately before enlistment were serving in approved educational institutions (Appendix IV above) and who at that time held academic qualifications for recognition under the Code, may for this purpose be regarded as though they had been recognised under the Code at the earliest date from which recognition could have been given if all their service had been in Public Elementary Schools.

Women Teachers

7. The war service of Women Teachers who have been awarded the Victory Medal may be reckoned as equivalent to teaching service in the capacity in which the teacher was recognised before the War, provided that the service in respect of which that medal was awarded commenced before 14th June, 1917, the date upon which Circular 1003 was issued.

General

8. The following conditions are applicable to the teachers mentioned above in connection with the counting of war service: (a) Service before the age of 18 should not be counted.

(b) No service for which a teacher volunteered after the Armistice should be counted.*

(c) If the total period spent in a Training College by a College-trained teacher falls short of two years, the difference between two years and the period actually spent in the College (both before and after enlistment) should be deducted from any period allowed for war service."

Appendix V of Burnham Secondary Report, 1938

1. The following types of war service (see Circulars 1244, 1318 and 1336) may be counted for increment purposes:

(a) Service with H.M. Forces (Soldiers, Sailors or Airmen).

(b) A period of disablement owing to medical treatment for wounds or other disabilities contracted when on war service with H.M. Forces, up to a maximum of 12 months, on production of satisfactory evidence that the Teacher was unable to resume or continue teaching duties, or was unable after demobilisation to complete his preparation for the teaching profession.

(c) Service with the Allied armies in a combatant capacity, provided that the Teacher was in recognised teaching service in England, Wales or Scotland before the war.

(d) Service which has been accepted by the Naval or Military Authority for the purpose of the issue of the Victory Medal or the Mercantile Marine War Medal.

(a) Voluntary periods of service after the Armistice (but provided they do not exceed 12 months in duration, they do not invalidate actual service during the war from being counted).

N.B. There was no voluntary service with the Navy.

(b) Service with Army Reserve W. In the case of Teachers who had service with the Forces prior to transfer to Army Reserve W, the date of demobilisation may be taken to be the date of discharge from Army Reserve W.

(c) A period of internment as a civilian prisoner of war.

(d) Munitions work.

(e) Service in a University O.T.C. (N.B. This does not include service Jn the Artists Rifles O.T.C. or Inns of Court O.T.C. which is regarded as war service.)

(f) Service with the Forces of the Crown before the age of 18.

[page 30]

3. The following classes of Teachers are allowed to count war service as defined in paragraph 1 above for increment purposes:

(a) Men who were serving as full-time Teachers at the outbreak of the war or later - provided that they resumed such teaching at the first opportunity after demobilisation, or the interval between demobilisation and resuming teaching was occupied by a full-time course of study for a degree, or in preparation for the teaching profession.

(b) New Entrants - Graduates:

As regards men Teachers who only commenced full-time teaching service after the war and had not been in any other occupation prior to the war, war service is counted for increment purposes on the Graduate Scale, subject to the following conditions:

(i) The Teacher must have entered upon full-time teaching service at the first opportunity after demobilisation, or after the completion of a full-time course of study for a degree, or in preparation for the teaching profession. A short period of temporary teaching service whilst waiting for admission to the University is Ignored.

(ii) If the total period spent in such full-time course of study falls short of three years, the difference between three years and the period actually spent in the course (both before and after enlistment) is deducted from any period allowed (for salary purposes) for service with the Forces. For this purpose, the University year is taken as commencing on 1st August and ending on 31st July.

(c) New Entrants - Non-Graduates:

(i) Men possessing qualifications accepted by the Board as equivalent to a degree are treated as Graduates and dealt with as in (b) above.

(ii) Certificated Assistant Masters are dealt with in accordance with Circular 1227 (see Appendix V to Standard Scales Report).

(iii) In the case of other Assistant Masters, war service is counted only if the Teacher possesses suitable and substantial qualifications based upon a course of full-time study of at least two years' duration (e.g., courses of study in Art or Music). In such cases the normal period of full-time study required for the qualification is substituted for three years in (b)(ii) above.

(d) In the case of women Teachers war service is counted only if it is of the type coming under paragraph 1(d), was commenced before 14th June, 1917, and if the teachers concerned satisfy the conditions set forth in (a), (b) or (c) preceding.

(a) Teachers who proceeded to a University and obtained a degree before resuming teaching are treated as new entrants (see paragraph 3(b) preceding).

(b) Teachers in foreign service prior to the war, who resumed teaching in a School in England, Wales or Scotland immediately on demobilisation, have their war service counted on the same scale as is appropriate to their post-war service. If, however, they returned to foreign service after demobilisation, their war service is not counted for increment purposes.

(c) In the case of Teachers serving in Secondary or Technical Schools before the war, who were awarded War Degrees whilst on Active Service, the war service is counted at Non-Graduate rates up to the date of the award of the War Degree, and at Graduate rates afterwards."

8. A Local Education Authority in considering the placing of Non-Graduate teachers on the Graduate Scale, should accept a less exacting standard for teachers who were in the service of the Authority on 1st September, 1920.

[page 31]

9. In Schools to which this Report relates where there were in force definite scales for Graduates and Non-Graduates prior to 1st September, 1920, or the date of the adoption of the 1920 Report if later, and where a Non-Graduate teacher had been placed by the Local Education Authority on such Graduate Scale, such recognition shall continue in the application of the new scale.

10. In Schools to which this Report relates, the Local Education Authority is recommended to recognise the case of Non-Graduate teachers of adequate educational qualifications whose service in such Schools has been of a meritorious character and who were appointed on or before 1st April, 1912, by placing such Teachers on the Graduate Scale."

Sections 7, 8, 9 of the 1921 Technical Report and Sections 8, 9, 10 of the 1920 Secondary and the 1927 Technical Reports are in similar sense.

Section 3(3)(a)(ii) of the 1938 Technical Report (to which paragraph 1(a)(ii) of Part B of Appendix V to this Report refers): -

"Grade III - Graduate Assistants

Assistants in this Grade will be of two kinds:

.................

(ii) those whose industrial or commercial qualifications and teaching or other experience entitle them In the opinion of the Local Education Authority to be placed in this grade.

6. Section 9A(1)(d) of tile Burnham Primary and Secondary Schools Report, 1948 (to which paragraph 2 of Part B of Appendix VII of this Report refers):

9A(1)(d)(i) In the case of a school newly opened or reorganised* in the year beginning 1st April, 1948, the allowance payable for the period to 31st March, 1952,† shall be assessed by reference to the estimated unit total for 1952. The allowance payable for the next succeeding three years shall be calculated on the unit total for 1952 and thereafter under the provisions of sub-section 9A(1)(c)(iii).

(ii) In the case of a school newly opened or reorganised* during the period 1st April, 1949, to 31st March, 1952,† for the period from the date of opening or reorganisation up to the end of the third complete financial year thereafter, the allowance payable shall be assessed by reference to the estimated unit total for the year in which such period ends. The unit total for that year shall determine the allowance payable for the remaining period (if any) up to 31st March, 1955. The allowance payable for the three years beginning 1st April, 1955, shall be calculated on the unit total for 1955, and thereafter under the provisions of sub-section 9A(1)(c)(iii).

(iii) In the case of schools newly opened or reorganised* subsequent to 31st. March, 1952,† the procedure in sub-section 9A(1)(d)(ii) above shall apply with appropriate adjustments of dates.

†Subject to the provisions of Section 15 of this Report.
