AnswerView source ↗
There seems to be a difference between the question that the member asked and the information that I have before me. As I understood the question, it refers to the number of classes that do not have a fully qualified early childhood teacher. I do not have that answer, I am sorry. Hon Barbara Scott : The question is about the number of kindergarten classes and the number of preprimary classes in government schools, and the number of kindergarten classes and the number of preprimary classes that do not have a fully qualified early childhood teacher. Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : I am sorry. That question is different from the question I have in front of me. I want to get clarification of it, because the member is asking me in (a), (b), (c) and (d) of her question about the number of kindergarten classes and preprimary classes, and how many do not have a fully qualified early childhood teacher, whereas the written question that I have in front of me does not refer to whether those teachers have the qualification or otherwise. Therefore, I will seek clarification of that. [See next page.]
