Mr. Speaker, that requires a much more substantive response that I can give at this particular juncture. You have to look at it in comparative terms. It's no different than the first exam that was written in math. It depends on where you measure. On the high-end, for instance in the math, we were comparable to the rest of the country. In the low-end we were comparable. It was in the middle where we had more serious problems. In fact, it's in the middle, between grades 8, 9 and 10, in that particular area that we had the most students dropping out. That is, in fact, a reflection of the situation. So in comparison, it's very difficult for me to say. So, Mr. Speaker, I'm going to take the question as notice. I will make a statement on that particular issue.
