H r. 5 .S . Mphomane,P .O . Box 3 3 ,RUSTKNBTTRG.Dear Sir,

^hank you for your letter of 16tfc July.I have studied the provisions of the Administrator's Notice

No. 347 of 11th June 1947, and I regret that I am unable to supply a definite answer to the questions posed by you. Th9 regulations for Balary adjustments do not appear to me to give any clear indication as to whether a teacher who improves his qualifications, thereby qualifying for a highor grade, forfeits the increments he would have received in his old grade. It does seem, however, that in all equity there should be no forfeiture, and that if a ftrade 2 teacher is classified Orade 3, he should at least benefit by the prescribed Increments on the old scale.

It is possible, however, that my Interpretation differs from that of the Transvaal Education Department, and if you wish to receive the official Interpretation I suggest that you communicate direct with the Department.

I return herewith your copy of the extracts from the Administrator'sNotice. Yours faithfullyV • J.H. AltmanTTBCHTICAl ASrTSfAST

Please find enclosed, herewith, extracts from the'Admini strator1 s Notice No. 347 of June 11, 1947 and please help me as to the •’interpretation** of the paragraphs and sub-paragraphs therein;

v *•

i. For having been employed before 1932 a teacher is in receipt of two increments over and above his basic salary which is the basic salary for Grade 2 on the scale. Does he forfeit these inbrements by passing Matric and thereby falling in Grade 3 ? OR

ii. Are these increments - for having been employed before 1^32 - to be added to his salary and added ONLY after placing him on the basic salary for Grade 3 ?

Briefly I wish to know if Additional Qualifications, according I* this Notice, are to deprive a teacher of the afore-said 1932 increments or not.

I am, Sir,Yours respectfully,

ONE AFFECTED.

The salaries vary enormously, of course, according to the province, post held by the teacher, teacher's sex, type of sohool, etc. To give one example, the scales for male assistant teachers of the highest grade in seoondary sohools (including o.o.l.a. which has been incorporated) are*-White teaohers.

Dear Miss Horrell,As will appear from the minutes of our meeting of

I am endea­vouring to obtain information regarding this subject but before go­ing into the matter fully, 1 shall be pleased to learn whether a research on the same lines have not already been made by you. If so, will you kindly furnish me with the results of such a research or any reference thereto. If no such research has as yet been conduct­ed, will you kindly guide me as to the best way of setting about the matter.

It may be useful if all the regions of the Institute could collaborate in this matter and I shall be pleased to have your views.

I HIGHER SALA.RIES FOR B\NTU TEA.CHERS

Mr. r’ood asked the Minister of Bantu Educations1 ' •

(1) Jhethsr a resolution passed by the Executive Committee of the Trans- vael Teachers1 Association on 12th August, 1961, in regard to salaries of Bantu teachers, had been brought to his notice; and

(2) whether his Department had taken or contemplated taking any steps to increase the salaries of Bantu teachersj if so, what were the steps.

The Deputy Minister of Bantu Administration and Developments

(1) Yes;(2) Yes. The salarias for Bantu teachers in Bantu farm schools w<=re

incraased as from 1 January, 1962. My Department had also framednew improved salary scales for Bantu teachers in Government and State - aided Bantu Schools, but, as it would cause a considerable increase in the expenditure, and as the Bantu Education Account could not afford it at present, mainly as a result of tne disappointing measure in which the Bantu population paid its taxes, consideration of the proposals would have to stand over until such time as the arrear taxes had been col­lected.The preceding paragraph was extracted from Hansard dated, 23rd March,1962.Please consider the matter and give us your opinion on what steps totake next.

II The Department is revising the Primary School syllabus. Certaintoachers throughout the country have been asked to submit suggestions.

"/hereas there are certain defects in the said syllabus, our main pro­blem is the Vernacular Medium.The Ex2cutive Committee wishes to tackle this problem. In doing so they would like to have your views as soon as possible.

A memorandum on salaries and the vernacular medium is being prepared.It is proposed to daal with these two matters only. In this connec­tion your comments and suggestions are urgently required.

An effective method of making the Department consider our demands should be our immediate attention.

Since 1954 they have made promises which they have not kept. Ve should, therefore, revise our method of approach.

III. Please sand, your affiliation fees of R50.00 to the Treasurer without delay.

IV. This Association remains the mouth-piece of the 26,000 teachers in the country.

All matters above the Regional Director of any province are the retp- orsibility of this Association. This has been the case since the xesuscitation of the Council in 1954»

It is not correct for a provincial association to send deputations, memoranda, petitions or any other foi . of reprebentation to an office of the Department/Government above the Regional Director.

Any departure from this order only serves to weaken the Association.

Provincial Associations should always consult with the Executive of this Association if they are not certain of the procedure to befollowed.

V. Provincial Associations should hold their eliminations for the National Eisteddfod in time to allow the choirs to prepare for the 30th June, 1962.

VI. At the Provincial eisteddfod, the marks of the English and the ver­nacular songs should be added and the choir with the highest marks becomes the winner. That will be the choir to proceed to Bloemfon­tein on the 30th June, I962. This affects the Senior Mixed Primary Choirs, Post Primary Schools and teachers' choirs.

VII* Each Province will be expected to send the followings-

(a) One Senior Mixed Primary Choir singing English and Vernacular only;

(b) One Post Primary Mixed Choir singing English and Vernaculars

(c) One Teachers' Double Quartet singing one English songf and

(d) One Teachers' Choir singing English and Vernacular.

VIII0 The Province will bear the responsibility of transporting all its choirs to Bloemfontein.

IX. Bloemfontein is appealing to the Executive to reduce the admission feea,-,-, the door to 75 cants. (Executive Members please react at once).

X. Please note that choirs other than teachers' are allowed to compete; but they must be eliminated at the Provincial Competitions.

Bear Sir,

Thank you for your letter of 1 February* I as afraid that the salary scales you request are very lengthy documents, and we have only one copy each of the first two*

You could write for a copy of the new scales for Whites to the director, Transvaal Education Department, Private Ba& 76, Pretoria*

Scales for Coloured teachers were contained In a supple- aent to "Alpha" for August 1964, or, If you do not possess this publication, could be requested from the Secretary for Coloured Affairs, oonte Carlo Building, Heereagrseht, Cape Town*

1 understand that, when the Department of Indian Affairs takes over Indian education, probably soiue time this year, Indian teachers will be paid at the rates applicable to Coloured*

Greetings Sir,

r e : AlBJSiiTYl'i SVID D E A F F A IR S .

A deputation that saw jou on Monday, the Ilth instant lor ani financial assistance has just reported to these Offices, and the Office is therefore pleased to state facts to you as fol­lows

I . The Division has a very definite scheme of severalRemedial Departments which will not f a i l to answer quite satisfactorily to the essential needs of the whole life of Albertynsville .

£. Ill-luck rose only in the local Department of Education about the event in which wages (salaries) of the teachers (communal teachers) have been so far withheld.

3. By sending a deputation to jou, the Division has only desired to obtain any temporary financial assistance through which the poor teachers who have been without the necessary wages (salaries) for some time may be co-ipesated and made to keep their living during whilea matter of the withholden vsages will s till be considered necessarily under the Daw.

4 . The Division is , at the moment, quite busy with the task of having life conditions of the place properly regulated, and w ill , as far as the Education Department and other Departments are concerned, not allow any alteration & amendmen t .

5. Apart from this question of teachers, and therefore \ generally for the General affairs of Albertynsville , the Division believes with much hope that solution can bebe found with great ease after an Inquiry that may go to the roots of all wrongs and other matters in ^lbertynsville
