HC Deb 26 November 1962 vol 668 cc12-3W
Mr. Matthews

asked the Minister of Education what is the basic salary for teachers when first qualifying, after three years' experience, and after five years, respectively.

Sir E. Boyle

On the lowest scale, which applies to two-year trained non-graduate teachers, the figures are £570, £660 and £750 respectively. These figures are increased by £30 or £60 for each year of education or training beyond two, by £100 for the possession of a degree and by a further £100, if the degree is of Good Honours standard. Thus the corresponding figures for Good Honours Graduate with four years of study or training are £830, £950 and £1,040 respectively. For further details of the scales, I would refer the hon. Member to Section B of the 1961 Report of the Burnham Committee on Scales of Salaries for Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools.
