In terms of teachers' salaries and their increase over time, and it is important we pay teachers enough because we want good people in the profession, was it not seen as coming under the salary? Is it not accepted under the salary at that point? The Department could have said that it was expanding the contract and not taking the grace and favour approach, that these were part of core responsibilities and part of core pay.
