Through the Chair, may I pick up on a small point there? I understand how, given the shortage of teachers, we will end up with someone who is unqualified to teach a certain subject taught by an absentee, but I am wondering about teachers who are actually permanent employees, who are three, four, five, six or seven years into their employment in teaching a subject that they clearly should not be teaching. Is this a whole other problem?
