Thank you very much to the Member for the questions. She is quite right, of course, that the professional learning requirements to implement the curriculum are not a matter for the White Paper, but just to reassure the Member that no education system can exceed the quality of those people who stand in front of our children day in and day out, and, therefore, having a professional workforce that is in a position to make good on the vision of the curriculum is absolutely crucial. That's why we have undergone a reformed initial teacher education process. It hasn't been without its pain, and we are confident that the new ITE provision centres that have been selected through that rigorous process will be in a position to ensure that those newly going into the profession will have the skills needed. 

We are currently working on groundbreaking alternative routes to qualification for teaching, which will put us at the vanguard of teacher education, and I hope to make statements on that shortly. But, clearly, we also have to attend to the needs of those who are already in the workforce, who, hopefully, will continue to be in the workforce for many years to come. I have previously announced to this Chamber the largest ever financial package of professional learning support in the history of devolution. Some significant resources are going in now and in the new financial year. Those resources will be made available directly to schools, where headteachers who are best placed to understand the professional learning needs of their colleagues in their school will be able to make individual plans for the use of those resources. 

I'm looking for a new approach, a new, innovative approach to professional learning. Gone are the days, I think, where we rely on sending people, usually to Cardiff, to spend the day listening to the sage on the stage, only then to go back and have little idea of how that could be properly implemented in individual classrooms. We need to be smarter than that. 

The Member does raise the important issue—and I know in having spoken to headteacher conferences before Christmas, that the issue of inset day, an extra inset day, is one that is high on people's agenda. Those Members who are au fait with the subordinate legislation processes will know that, actually, I do not have the power to simply announce an extra inset day. I am actively considering whether that should be made available, but it will have to go out to public consultation and will be subject to processes here within the Assembly itself. But I hope to make an announcement shortly about whether that process will be undertaken. But I understand that teachers will need the opportunity to prepare themselves for this new challenge, as will our school leaders, which is why I have been quite clear to our National Academy of Educational Leadership that, in commissioning programmes to support existing and aspiring headteachers, their ability to be able to support curriculum reform in their own schools should be an important part of that.
