This Supplementary Estimate is necessary to meet the cost of increases in the salaries and other grants payable to teachers in classification and national schools.
The increases, which have been awarded with effect as from 1st November, 1961, arise from the implementation of a Report of the Arbitration Board for National Teachers. The Arbitration Board met on 20th and 21st December, 1961, and on 2nd January, 1962. The findings of the Board were approved by the Government.
The additional cost of the revised scales of salary and rates of capitation grant following from the implementation of the Board's report is estimated at £1,150,000 for a full year. The amount which will become payable in the present financial year is estimated at £400,000. It is not anticipated that there will be any appreciable savings in any other subheads of the Vote.
