Appendix B details the number of allowances held by teachers. There are 460 primary teachers not getting an allowance. The number of teachers in receipt of one allowance at primary level is 17,048 and 15,446 at second level, with a total of 32,494. At the bottom of that table it states that in addition to the above, almost 95% of teachers receive the supervision and substitution payment. That allowance does not seem to be calculated in the table.
