Under the current collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, for teachers a number of new grades for the tutors were introduced. These grades were developed after the job evaluation exercise by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, in 2016. A new grading system for teachers was thus introduced. Each grade has a cluster of teachers aggregated together and which have specific designation codes.
