The Deputy is quite correct to acknowledge the great richness provided for in our primary schools and the excellence of the staff providing education. The policy statement on initial teacher training will be published before the end of the year. We are consistently looking at ways to continue to support teachers in delivery. The Deputy made specific reference to languages and how best to deliver language education. This involves upskilling, continuing professional development and the primary curriculum framework to be published in 2023. All of the different reviews and publications give us scope to look at everything. There is a great richness in the primary school system.
