Invalid Teachers Can Enter More Often

Invalid Teachers can Enter more Often. A substitute teacher in education may soon be more frequent. Schools in primary education and special education can offer multiple contracts continuously from the coming school year.   Now such temporary workers, who sometimes only spend a day or a few days, quickly get through their maximum number of contracts.

Leave Campaign Defends against Violations of Electoral Law in Brexit

The director of the official campaign for the departure of Great Britain from the European Union, Vote Leave, has today denied that his organisation had committed irregularities in the run-up to the referendum in June 2016.

According to director Matthew Elliott, the electoral commission will denounce in its report that Vote Leave has tampered with the accounts. "Their initial conclusion is that we have exceeded the expenditure ceiling, that we donated to another group during the campaign, which we should not have done", he said on Sky News.
