Each vocational education committee receives an administrative staffing allocation from my Department on a VEC basis. The way in which such staffing is allocated to individual VEC schools and colleges and other activities within the VEC is entirely a matter for each VEC. In relation to the case referred to by the Deputy, the deployment of secretarial support is a matter to be decided between the school and the VEC concerned. My Department has no function in the matter.
