Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I appreciate the Minister's explanation. Yes, I agree with him. It is important to get students back into the system. Really, if we do not have some sort of criteria by which they are evaluated - students seem to be progressed by each authority. When they do have an exam, such as the departmental exams, they are not able to graduate the numbers. This says to me that all through the system there are some tremendous shortcomings. Even though we have so many students in grade 11, if they cannot meet certain criteria, then why would they be in grade 11 or grade 10?
