Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to indicate to the honourable Member that the department has been requested to provide a detailed response to the letter which was sent to me, as the Minister. I will be responding in detail to the issues which the board and the chairperson raised. However, I would like to assure you that whatever decisions we make in terms of expending financial resources in the regions or for that matter within each divisional area, that there is some accountability to the Minister. Because in the final analysis, as Minister, I am, in fact, responsible for the overall expenditure of financial resources. I agree with the honourable Member that we will try to move as far as possible, however, I do also suggest to the Member and other Members, that the significant requirement, and in order for us to accommodate the concerns of the honourable Member, is amending the Education Act. The Education Act does not allow us to go to the extent which the honourable Member requests us to go. It requires that consideration.
