Ms Breda Naughton:
I wish to go back a little bit because I want to answer previous questions. Senator O'Donnell was worried about arts and creativity in the framework document. I would like to bring to her attention the fact that there are eight principles in the framework, one of which is creativity and innovation, and eight key skills in the framework, one of which is being creative. I assure her that there is a significant emphasis on creativity.
