This is an additional amendment to section 44, subsection 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. The amendment 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 this section.
