Education Funding: Motion
Benchmarking is the issue of the day. Teaching will fall apart if morale is not boosted by a recognition in terms of respect for teachers' entitlements and expectations. Irrespective of the rows, teachers have expectations. They went through the system of benchmarking. It would be helpful if the Minister for Education and Science or the Minister for Finance gave a commitment to payment in respect of benchmarking. This covers the whole public sector. It is of major importance in the education sector.
