I thank the Minister for his comprehensive response. Some of its content was not to my liking. I ask the Minister to acknowledge that there is an issue. As he knows, school principals are engaged in an ongoing campaign. I am aware from my own experience that school principals are leaving their posts to return to mainstream teaching because, as I said in my initial contribution, the workload is affecting their well-being. I am sure the Minister is aware of that as well. This issue deserves attention. I welcome the Minister's confirmation that he is not closing the door to consultation with the stakeholders involved. I hope he will make a genuine attempt to find a resolution or a path forward to address this issue.
