I am conscious many adults who have come from Ukraine have academic or professional qualifications. It may be the case people have come from Ukraine who have the academic qualifications to be teachers in Ireland. It is obviously a different education system. The courses are different but these Ukrainians may have qualifications in maths, physics or chemistry. I am also aware the EU Commission agreed a recommendation on 5 April this year in respect of recognition of the qualifications of academic and professional people who have come from Ukraine. Can anything be done to give recognition to people coming from Ukraine who have the academic qualifications to be teachers?
