POSTPRIMARY TEACHERS
SALARY INCREASES WELCOMED (New Zealand Press - Association) WELLINGTON, May 18. The president of the New Zealand Post-Primary Teachers’ Association (Mr G. Mcß. Salt) has expressed gratitude on behalf of his association for salary increases granted to postprimary ’teachers. The increases were announced yesterday by the Minister of Education (Mr R. M. Algie), and bring postprimary teachers’ salaries into line with other Public Service salaries. “With the Minister and the department, my association is gravely concerned over the difficulty of recruiting the large number of additional teachers needed during the next 10 years to meet rapidly increasing roll numbers,” Mr Salt said. “Adequate remuneration to teachers is a first essential in any recruiting. The remuneration should include suitable academic and trade qualification allowances, as in the English’Burnham scales. There is also a need for changes at certain points in the structure of the post-primary scale itself,” said Mr Salt.
