§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Education what is the average cost to the Exchequer of the individual emergency teacher in respect of basic salary on admission to the national schools, increments or other emoluments of war service, maintenance and tuition grants while training; and what is the cost of the graduate teacher on admission to the schools in respect of basic salary, allowance for degree and for fourth-year training.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe basic salary scale for a qualified teacher trained under the Emergency Training Scheme is £300—£15—£525 for men and £270£12—£420 for women. Additions to these scales for new entrant qualified teachers are allowable in respect of war service and other approved previous experience, determined according to the circumstances of the particular case, as provided by the terms of the Burnham Report now in force. Information is not yet available as to the cost to the Exchequer of training students under the Emergency Training Scheme. The basic scales for trained graduate teachers are the same, but for a graduate assistant qualified teacher with four years' approved full-time study or training, three increments at the minimum and four increments at the maximum of the appropriate scale are added.
