TEACHERS IN FORCES
BACK PAY FOR HOLIDAYS (P.A.) WELLINGTON, June 23. An extension of the existing arrangements for the payment of holiday pay to soldier teachers was announced this evening by the Minister of Education, Mr H. G. R. Mason. He said that early this year the Government decided as from December 1, 1941, to give the soldier-teacher his full accumulated holiday pay on entering camp without interfering with his receipt of military pay. The Government had now decided to extend this privilege to all teachers who entered the armed services at any time after the outbreak of war. This meant, the Minister said, that many teachers now serving with the forces would receive back pay for the holidays due to them when they were given leave from the teaching service. It brought teachers into line with all Government servants.
