I find the Minister's response encouraging, in which she identified some of the issues we are talking about. I can think of two examples, from Australia and Vietnam, where somebody was teaching at a private school that is well recognised by that state's authorities and operates in line with its curriculum and so on.

Despite having seven or eight years of experience in those schools, on returning home they would be treated as if they were just newly qualified. That is a severe disincentive.

Is it possible to get a timescale on how this process will proceed? I am not suggesting that it needs to be rushed or anything like that, but how long will it be before the new consolidated circular is available?
