§ Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken by the Government of Mauritius to safeguard the rights of the teachers in approved secondary schools as to the payment of their salaries on an agreed scale between the interested parties, and in the revised scale of living allowance to be granted to these teachers.
§ Mr. J. Griffiths:The Secondary School Teachers' Union has been negotiating with the Government of Mauritius on these matters. A revised system of allocating financial aid to these schools has recently been approved, whereby the grant is related to teachers' emoluments paid at approved rates, and revised salary scales have now been introduced.
