Good morning.
Yes, we do.
It's going to be, it's about enabling more teachers into the profession that are in our communities already.
No, I don't know the exact figures, what's behind the figures, but it's got to be a good thing to get more teachers in our profession.
No, I think it's great having international trained teachers in our system, but
I think it's all about access to training and people in our communities who might be a teacher aide or a limited authority to teach teacher don't have the means to be able to go take a year off work and train.
This helps with that.
Yes, I think so because of the financial incentive to help them make it work.
As far as I understand, yes.
Well, they have the ground running and they're already in the community.
They're often working at the school already as a teacher, so they know...
in essence, how the school functions, the culture of the school, and the sorts of things that they're going to need to train that they've already had a touch of experience on.
Yes, it's really positive news targeted at our most isolated and smallest rural schools here, which is very welcome news.
Well, it's because a relief teacher can teach in any school that they choose during the week.
And so it's really important that we've got teachers
something in the system that supports them to commute as far out.
Some schools could be up to 100 kilometres away that they might need to drive to in our most isolated communities.
Well, yes, I think we've got a system that's based on numbers of students in terms of funding, and the smaller you are, the less of an operations grant you have, and the more manoeuvring, the trickier the manoeuvring of budget outlines that you've got to do.
Having that $2,500 means they don't need to think about where they need to take
money from elsewhere and they can focus that $2,500 on fuel shortage related costs or fuel increase costs.
