duty) for one day. The principal has every right not to approve the

don’t realise is that they have exactly the same annual leave

entitled to 20 days per year. All days over 20 are just that, generall=
y, they
are not required to be on duty (many of course are) This is why
there are so many ‘special’ rules for the teaching service aroun=

the relationship between school holidays and other forms of leave.<o:p></o:p=
