NRS-4071 | Essay projects prepared under the Units of Study Scheme

The Units of Study Scheme was introduced about 1970, to enable teachers to qualify for improved status, by submitting essay projects. It was offered as an alternative, where teachers were unable to undertake full or part-time study at a College. Generally, those making use of the scheme were attempting to increase their status, from a two year trained teacher to that of a three year trained teacher.The scheme was used mainly by teachers, who had the equivalent of two years of training, from ex-Voluntary Association Schools, which were usually for the handicapped. These schools were being progressively taken over by the Education Department, and the teachers were then employed by the State. By 1979 the Scheme was winding down in 1978 there were only between five and six essays submitted to the Division. Not all essays were retained by the Department as some were claimed by the teachers who submitted them.The essays are arranged alphabetically by the name of the teacher submitting each essay.

学习单元计划（Units of Study Scheme）于约1970年推出，旨在让教师通过提交论文项目获得职级晋升。该计划作为替代路径，面向无法在学院开展全日制或非全日制学习的教师。通常，参与该计划的教师多希望将自身职级从两年制受训教师提升至三年制受训教师。该计划的主要使用者为来自前志愿协会学校（通常招收残障学生）、拥有相当于两年受训经历的教师。这类学校正逐步由教育部接管，教师随后也转为国家公职人员。截至1979年，该计划已逐步停办；1978年全年仅向该学部提交了5至6篇论文。并非所有提交的论文都会由教育部留存，部分论文会被提交教师取回。所有论文均按提交教师姓名的字母顺序排列。
