Murray Plains electorate
Mr WALSH (Murray Plains) (14:42): (6378) My constituency question is for the Minister for Education. I would like to thank the minister for his letter saying that Wendy Sims, a constituent of mine, would be offered a permission-to-teach grant so that she could return to teaching to help with the shortage of teachers at Lockington Consolidated School. Unfortunately the Victorian Institute of Teaching has now told Wendy that, despite what the minister said, she will not be able to return to teaching. I ask the minister what information he can provide as to how the Victorian Institute of Teaching can totally disregard and overrule his advice to Wendy.
