2071 (2026). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister of Education: How many times since 1 January 2024, if any, did the Minister discuss with Minister Simmonds the Schools Onsite Training Programme?

Hon Erica Stanford: Investments into the expansion of the School Onsite Training Programme (SOTP) has been a key part of my Ministerial work programme to build the workforce of the future.
