My Department has already recognised this and has been working specifically on the technical support issue since January and will offer advice to schools during the Autumn term.

However, the Government has made it clear that we do not encourage the recruitment of teachers from developing nations where there may be an adverse effect on the economy.

I do recognise that, where recruitment difficulties persist, teachers can be put under great pressure.

There is a shortage of teachers but the January 2001 schools census showed that teacher numbers were at their highest level than at any time since 1984 - and 11,000 higher than 1997.

And what of the dead? They lie without shoes in the stone boats. They are more like stone than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone.

One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And Death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

I looked like a ghost. And I should know. I’ve seen a few.

When you must choose a new path, do not bring old experiences with you. Those who strike out afresh, but who attempt to retain a little of the old life, end up torn apart by their own memories.

I would give more for the private esteem and love of one than for the public praise of ten thousand.
