Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This matter is a legislated matter. First of all, there will be a requirement to meet the targets that have been set, for changing the pupil-teacher ratio from 18:1 to 16:1. That is a requirement that we have to meet.
Additionally, the change in the funding availability has been increased from eight percent to 15 percent. We are working with the school program and resource committee. I had a meeting with the chairs of the district education councils and of the Yellowknife school boards, along with the directors, and this was a subject of some discussion.
I believe we are paying attention to this matter. There is a survey being completed of the student needs. That particular survey involved a number of people to do extensive work around the territory on a multi-level basis, and that will then form the documentation for the SPAR committee on what recommendations can come forward in regards to student needs.
I feel there is work being done. It is not the intent to add more administration to the school boards, to the school itself. It is directed at a change in the pupil-teacher ratio.
