Railway Bursaries Available

At the end of each school year the Railways Department appoints a number of young men to its staff as cadets (either civil, electrical, or mechanical) and at its own expense sends them to a University for four years to enable them to obtain appropriate degrees. In return for the Department's investment in his education, each person selected is required to enter into a bond to serve the Department for at least five years subsequent to graduation.

The minimum educational requirement for appointees is Higher School Certificate, but naturally those with higher qualifications have a better chance of selection. For further information about rates of pay and automatic annual increases, and other details, any of the railway officers listed below will gladly advise.
