The new salary scale will apply in the case of all teachers who are new appointees to teaching on or after 1 February 2012.

The introduction of this new salary scale is a complex task which requires a detailed implementation process. A circular on implementation of the Government decision as it applies to teachers is due to issue shortly from my Department. Arrears, backdated to the date of first appointment, should be paid within the next two months to all eligible teachers.
