Public schools shall be classified in grades and subgrades in accordance with the provisions of Part I of the First Schedule hereto.
(2.)
It shall be the duty of every Education Board to determine from time to time in accordance with regulations the grade and subgrade to which every public school under the control of that Board belongs.
(3.)
The said regulations may be made at any time after the passing of this Act, and may from time to time be varied or revoked.
4 Grades of teachers’ salaries.
The salaries payable to teachers in public schools are hereby classified in grades and subgrades in accordance with the provisions of Part II of the First Schedule hereto.
5 Number of teachers in public schools.
(1.)
The number of teachers and pupil-teachers in every public school shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Second Schedule hereto.
(2.)
The additional assistants provided for in the sixth column of the Second Schedule hereto are in substitution for and not in addition to the pupil-teachers provided for in the fifth column thereof, but shall be appointed in lieu of the said pupil-teachers only at the times and to the extent prescribed by regulations.
(3.)
The regulations referred to in the last preceding subsection shall come into force on the day therein specified in that behalf, not being earlier than three months after the date of the publication of the regulations in the Gazette.
(4.)
While any such regulations are in force no pupil-teachers shall be appointed in any public school except so far as their appointment is consistent with the terms of the regulations.
(5.)
Notwithstanding anything in this section, the staff of any public school shall not at any time before the full number of the said additional assistants has been appointed be less than it would have been under the principal Act had this Act not been passed, and the additional teachers (if any) required in order to conform to this requirement shall receive salaries of Subgrade 1a as determined by the First Schedule hereto.
6 Appointment of probationers.
(1.)
In addition to the teachers and pupil-teachers provided for by the Second Schedule hereto, it shall be lawful for any Board to appoint probationers in any public school in accordance with regulations.
(2.)
No probationer shall have sole charge of any class, or shall be engaged in teaching for more than fifteen hours in any week.
(3.)
No probationer shall be entitled to become a contributor to the Teachers’ Superannuation Fund.

(5.)
A probationer shall not be deemed to be a teacher within the meaning of the principal Act.
7 Salaries of teachers in public schools.
(1.)
Subject to the provisions hereinafter contained in this section, the salaries payable to teachers in public schools shall be the salaries of the grades and subgrades (as defined in Part II of the First Schedule hereto) prescribed for those teachers in the Second Schedule hereto.
(2.)
A teacher employed in a public school at the commencement of this Act shall not, so long as he remains in the same position, receive a salary lower than that to which he would have been entitled under the principal Act had this Act not been passed.
(3.)
A teacher who is employed in a public school at the commencement of this Act shall, so long as he remains in the same position, receive as from the beginning of each year (commencing with the year nineteen hundred and nine) an annual increment of five pounds, in addition to the salary received by him at the commencement of this Act, until his salary reaches the maximum for the grade or subgrade of salary attached to that position by this Act.
(4.)
Every teacher who is appointed to any position in a public school after the commencement of this Act shall, on his appointment, receive the minimum salary of the grade or subgrade of salary attached to his position under this Act; and shall, so long as he remains in the same position, receive, as from the beginning of each year, an annual increment of five pounds until his salary reaches the maximum for the grade or subgrade attached to that position by this Act. The first of the annual increments shall be payable as from the expiration of one year from the thirty-first day of December nearest to the date of his appointment.
(5.)
Notwithstanding the provisions of the last preceding subsection, a teacher in a public school who is transferred from one position to another position to which the same grade or subgrade of salary is attached (whether those two positions are in the same school or in different schools, or under the same Board or under different Boards) shall receive as his initial salary in his new position the amount of the final salary which he received in his former position, and shall receive his first increment of salary on the same date as if he had continued in the position from which he was so transferred.
(6.)
When a teacher in a public school occupies a position to which two or more subgrades of salary are attached (whether in the same or in different grades), those subgrades shall be deemed to constitute a single subgrade, and his annual increments of salary shall be payable in successive years until he reaches the maximum of the highest of those subgrades.
(7.)
If, owing to a reduction in the grade of any public school, the salary of a teacher is reduced to an inferior grade or subgrade while he holds the same position as before, he shall thereupon receive as his salary the maximum salary of the grade or subgrade to which he has been so reduced.
(8.)
If any public school is at the beginning of any year placed in Grade I or a higher grade, and that school is thereafter reduced in grade, any teacher who remains in the same position therein shall for two years after the reduction continue to receive the same salary as if no such reduction had taken place, but the school shall nevertheless at all times be staffed in accordance with the grade or subgrade to which it belongs for the time being.
8 House allowances for head teachers.
In the case of a public school having more than eight pupils in average daily attendance the Board shall, at its discretion, either provide a residence for the head teacher of the school, or pay to him annually out of moneys appropriated by Parliament for that purpose the house allowance prescribed in the Third Schedule hereto.

Part III. Side Schools
(a.)
A “side school”
is a school which is attached to another school and is distant more than a quarter of a mile but not more than three miles therefrom, and to which there are admitted pupils up to a class not higher than Standard IV and up to an age not higher than eleven years.
(b.)
A “main school”
is a school to which a side school is so attached.
(c.)
One school is attached to another within the meaning of the foregoing provisions when they have the same head teacher.
(d.)
Every side school shall be deemed to form part of the main school, and the grade and staff of the main school (together with the side school or side schools so forming part thereof) shall be determined accordingly.
(e.)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no main school or side school, taken separately, shall have a smaller number on its staff than if it were a mixed school of the same average attendance; and the additional teachers (if any) required in order to conform to this requirement shall receive salaries of Subgrade 1a.
Part IV. Part-time Schools
(a.)
A “part-time school”
is one of a group of schools taught by the same sole teacher, each school being situated at least three miles by the nearest practicable means of access from any other school of the same group, and being open for not less than eight hours a week on the average, all the schools of the group being open for not less than twenty hours a week in the aggregate.
(b.)
All the schools of a group of part-time schools shall be counted as one school. To ascertain the grade of the group of part-time schools the totals of the average attendance at the several schools of the group shall be added together; and the salary of the sole teacher of that group of schools shall be the salary attached to the grade so ascertained.
(c.)
If the teacher of a group of part-time schools is required by the Education Board to teach on six days during the week (provided that he teaches for at least twenty-four hours in each week) he shall receive the salary for the grade of school next higher than the grade in which that group of schools is placed.
