Would the commission consider having a more formal consultation or feedback loop with candidates? The witness referred to the schools, but the school is first and the pupil is second. It is similar with the teacher. The media is a very direct route. This petition clearly hit a nerve given the number of people who signed it. As I said the witness addressed the questions beautifully, so there is no issue there. However, would more direct feedback from the candidates be something the witness might take on board and consider?
