Some of the allocation to schools should be put aside to bring in a qualified PE teacher to deal with children.

I refer to transparency regarding substitution teachers and the monitoring process the Department has in place at the end of a month. There may be genuine cases where it is not possible or feasible to bring in an unemployed, newly-qualified teacher, which should be the priority. Can the Department put a monitoring and control process in place?
