§ 102. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what negotiations have taken place between the Government of Mauritius and the Mauritian Secondary School Teachers' Union; and what increases there have been in salaries to the secondary school teachers of Government and grant-in-aid secondary schools over the last three years.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsAfter discussions with the Secondary School Teachers' Union a revised and combined salary scale was adopted in April, 1949, for Government secondary schools in Mauritius. The new scale is Rs. 4,500 to Rs. 11,200—the previous scales ran from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 9,000 a year. The regulations governing the award of increments for qualifications and service were also modified to the advantage of the teachers. There is no fixed scale of salary in grant-aided secondary schools. I am escertaining from the Governor whether there have been salary increases for these posts and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I have received the Governor's reply.
