Regulation 33 Each full-time member of the staff, with the exception of those specifically excluded by a resolution of the General Assembly, entitled to receive a children's allowance under regulation 30, who is employed by the United Nations in a country other than his own country as specified in his letter of appointment, shall be entitled to the following education grant:

( a) The sum of $US200 per annum for each child, in respect of whom a children's allowance is payable, in full-time attendance at a school or a university in his home country; provided that, where a child attt'nded such an educational institution for a period of less than two-thirds of any one scholastic year, the allowance shall be reduced to such proportion of $US200 as the period so attended bear~ to a full scholastic year;
