7. Professional Skill.—(i.) Marks for skill in teaching, for personality,
   discipline, and environment, and for organization and management, shall
   in the first case be assigned with special relation to the teacher’s efficiency
   in the class of positions occupied by him up to the time of grading, and
   shall be assessed in all essential respects on a basis of comparison with
   teachers in the same group.

(ii.) Marks for personality, discipline, and attention to environment shall
be assessed in accordance with a teacher’s value in these respects in relation
to his school activities only.

(iii.) Marks for organization and management shall be assigned with due
regard to the relative degrees of skill in organization and management
demanded by different classes of positions in the same group.

8. After the marks provided for in clause 6 and referred to in clause 7
   hereof have been provisionally determined, the Inspectors, having regard
   to the grading of the teachers of the district as a whole, may make such
   adjustment as they consider necessary to bring into due relation the
   marking in the various groups.

9. When any teacher is to be graded in a higher group than that in
   which he was last graded, the marks to be awarded under clauses 6 and 7
   on the judgment of the Inspectors shall be reassessed according to the
   higher standard of marking in such higher group, so that the total of these
   marks, added to the quota mark, shall in all cases be increased only by
   such number of marks as represents the increased efficiency of the teacher
   since the previous grading.

10. Notwithstanding anything contained in these regulations, every
    teacher eligible to be graded who was on military service for at least one
    year during the years 1914–20, inclusive, shall, in general, receive the same
    increase of marks for the period of his military service as was received on
    the average by teachers whose status was similar to his own at the time
    of his enrolment for military service.

11. In assigning marks under the several headings stated in clause 7 hereof
    Inspectors shall be guided by the following table of comparative values :—

• Note that the qualitative significance of the marks in this column is governed by
  the provisions of clause 7 (iii). It has been agreed by the grading officers that an
  assistant who has never had charge of a school or a department of a school cannot
  rightly be regarded as eligible for more than a maximum of from 10 to 15 marks for
  organization, while an assistant who has had the responsibility of managing a school
  or department may be regarded as eligible for a maximum from 20 to 25 marks.

12. Academic Attainments.—Marks for academic attainments shall be
    based on the class of teacher’s certificate held, and shall be given as
    follows : For certificate of Class E, 6 marks ; Class D, 12 ; Class C, 21 ;
    Class B, 27 ; Class A, 30 :

Provided that a teacher who is awarded a higher class of certificate
after the graded list has been completed shall be entitled to receive the
additional grading marks for the higher certificate as prescribed in this
clause, and the consequent alteration in his grading shall be notified to
each Education Board and in any supplement to the graded list that may
be issued.
