Part of the problem with allowances and so on is communication, which is diabolical and poor. The substitute teacher issue would be rectified by putting a process in place whereby at the end of every month, the principals give a reason they employed a specific teacher. The Department sees the payments going through. That would be transparent and it would give comfort to the principals. I ask the officials to take this on board.
