§ 82. Mr. Skinnardasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many qualified teachers and how many unqualified assistants are employed in Government schools in the Cayman Islands; and what salaries are paid to them.
Mr. Creech JonesThere are six teachers in the Cayman Islands who hold teachers training college certificates; they receive salaries between £104 and £145 a year. There are also thirteen unqualified assistant teachers: they receive salaries from £50 to £96 a year. In addition, one Caymanian teacher is now training in the United Kingdom in order to assume duty as supervisory teacher on his return to the Islands, and two trained Jamaican teachers are in process of selection for secondment to the Islands. Re-grading of salaries is at present under consideration.
