Liability of teachers to be called upon to take further employment

Every pension granted under this Act to a teacher under the age of fifty-five shall be subject to the condition that, until the teacher has attained the age of fifty-five he may, if physically fit for service, be called upon by the Governor- General to accept, in lieu of his pension, an office, in the teaching service, not less in value, than the office which he held at the date of his retirement. If a teacher so called upon declines without reasonable cause to accept such office the payment of his pension may be suspended until he has attained the age of fifty-five years.
