Vocational education committees may pay children's allowances to eligible teachers and their widows, with rates and conditions determined by the Minister for Education with the consent of the Minister for Finance, for periods starting on or after October 1, 1952.
Children's allowances and rent allowances paid to teachers are not to be included when calculating their superannuation.
