Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. It is unfortunate that the student had to drop out of school. Certainly our view is to have success in all students. There are certain protocols that we need to follow. One of the protocols is to work closely with district education authorities and divisional education councils as well. They’re the ones that have policies in place. If a student from the community wants to take on with home boarding, they’re the ones who made those decisions at the community level, because they’re experts at the community level. We work closely with them, as well, so we will continue to support those DEAs and DECs with the policies that they have and if there needs to be some changes, then, certainly, we are willing to work with that as well.
