Yes. I am not sure if this extends to secondary schools. It is an unfair system. Young people who enter teaching or any other profession want the opportunity to progress. Their progress should not be stymied if they are entitled on the basis of ability to promotion. This will discourage suitable candidates from entering or staying in teaching. We need good teachers. A general review of training practices must be carried out in teaching and nursing.
