(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am directing this question to the Minister for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. My question is that they do have local education authorities in each community or hamlet. On July 1, 1997, it was enacted and the advisory board would be removed; also they would be elected at the same time and also they would have another election for the education authority boards every two years. A lot of the communities feel this is not appropriate. For example, it would be more appropriate to have half of them there for the first term and then for the next term. Is this a policy? Can you tell me if it is up to the community to decide how they would like to have a board? Thank you. (Translation ends)
