* The calculations have been restricted to the salaries of men teachers and take no account, therefore, of the effect of the equal pay assimilation of women teachers' salaries which occurred during the period. The figures shown relate to basic scales only (including payment for Article 39 qualification] and take no account of additional responsibility payments.
† Actual salaries adjusted for changes in the approximate purchasing power of the pound based on the consumer price index for the year, expressed as indices taking 1945 actual salaries as 100.
