I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 98 of 15 May 2013, which was as follows:

I understand that the teachers' dispute with the ISM in Tripoli has been ongoing for some time. The case, however, has only been brought to the attention of my Department in the past week. The issue is currently being handled by the Department of Education and Science and the State Examinations Commission, which has been in direct contact with the ISM in Tripoli regarding the unpaid monies. Officials from my Department have also been in touch with the SEC regarding the matter and to offer whatever assistance may be considered helpful.
