I'd like to come at this from the other way around, if I may, because, at the moment, of course, a qualified teacher coming from the European Union can work here without any further training being necessary, whereas qualified teachers from other parts of the world need to basically retrain. Once we leave the European Union, there's a genuine question then about whether it will be illegal to discriminate against qualified teachers from other countries. I'm wondering what your view of this might be and whether you'll be speaking with the education Minister, perhaps, about the need to review that position, particularly in view of the new curriculum, where, actually, the qualifications of those other overseas teachers may be more relevant than they are at the moment?
