• 19 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The Government has not ignored the PI A-level teachers. The two week in-service course conducted by the Ministry in 1995 placed the Untrained A-level teachers into a then existing scheme of service for Graduate/Approved Teachers (now obsolete), which recognised AT III, AT II and AT I as common establishment.

So many of them already have degrees as a result of going to the university while they are still in service. So, pursuing university studies is one's own initiative. view

In this country, we have the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), which provides loans for those who want to go to the university. So many teachers have benefited from HELB. view
