The Education Minister's unfazed by a rise in sector vacancies, saying these aren't the right figures to be looking at.
Around 450 teaching and principal roles remain vacant – 12% more than this time last year.

She says it doesn't mean there are 450 classrooms without teachers, and she expects a higher vacancy rate at this time of year.
