There are currently 14 districts and district directors within those districts. There will be 75 networks. The network principals will not be taking on the work of the district director; they will be taking on a leadership role in their networks, particularly in the area of curriculum and curriculum development, and the implementation of the national curriculum. They will not be taking on the duties of a district director. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Mandurah, I formally call you to order for the first time, along with the Minister for Education.
