Education Ordinance of 1907 Amendment
1910
In 1910, the Education Ordinance of 1907 was amended to provide grants of £60 per annum for each European instructor who was qualified to teach industrial subjects and £60 per annum for each European teacher who was qualified to train African teachers.
The purpose of the amendment was to give advanced native African pupils reach training by instructors holding definite qualifications to teach their respective subjects.
In 1918, the Administration, in order to encourage the teaching of agriculture in mission schools, authorised an increase in the Government grants for fully-qualified European agricultural instructors to three-quarters of their salary to a maximum of £225 per annum.
