This is an additional amendment to section 44(3) of the principal Act which deals with the removal, suspension or retention of a teacher on the register following an inquiry. The amendment provides that measures entered into by a teacher voluntarily are not appealable to the High Court. It deletes the words “of the Disciplinary Committee” from the phrase “vary the decision of the Disciplinary Committee”. It is considered that these words are unnecessary in the context of the purpose of the section.
