TERRACE — An early
retirement incentive pro-
gram for teachers recently
announced by the B.C.
Ministry of Education will
have little, if any, effect
on School District 88, ac-

cording to Harold Cox,’
director of instruction for -

the district.
The program offers full

pension benefits to
teachers between ages 55.
‘and 59 who wish to retire,

as opposed to the usual
five percent-per-year
penaity imposed -on
retirees under 60 years of
age. The Ministry of
Education statement an-
nouncing the program in-

dicated its object is to.

allow more young un-
employed teachers and
new. graduates into the
education system. The
early retirement program

is voluntary and will be of-

fered for the next three”

years,

The announcement also
suggested there could be a
substantial cost saving to
school districts and the
Ministry in replacing
teachers at the top of the
‘salary scale with lower
paid younger instructors.

Cox was unable to say |
exactly how many teachers:

over age SS work in
School District 88. ‘There

aren’t very many,’’ he .

said. “We're a young

district, and I don’t think |

this is going to affect us
too much.”’

The early retirement
program, he speculated,
will probably have its

greatest effect in Van-

couver and Victoria where

a greater proportion of —

senior teachers work.

assigned to monitor the
