Note : 1. (a) A practical school or skills opportunity school operating with 15 or more classes is entitled to two deputy heads at Principal Graduate Master/Mistress (PGM) rank. One PGM post will be provided for every two Senior Graduate Master/Mistress (SGM) posts, offset by the deletion of one SGM post.
      (b) If the number of SGM posts is insufficient to allow the provision of PGM posts to the maximum number entitled, one PAM post will be provided to serve as deputy head for every two SAM posts, offset by the deletion of one SAM post.
    2. One post in the rank of SAM is upgraded to PAM in a practical school or skills opportunity school operating 24 or more classes with the functional duties of coordinating pastoral care and extra-curricular activities, and attending to the special needs of the pupils.
    3. One post in the rank of Graduate Master/Mistress (GM) is upgraded to Senior Graduate Master/Mistress (SGM) in an aided practical school or skills opportunity school operating 15 or more classes.
