¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we appreciate the points raised. When a vacancy occurs, a teacher often acts as principal. The problem is that we cannot breach service rules. Future appointments will be made strictly under the criteria of the Education Administrative Service and the Principals’ Service. Therefore, at the point of placements, the concerns you raised will not occur.
