I will follow that up with the Minister for Education. It is very devastating news for parents. It creates a lot of anxiety when parents cannot be clear or certain that their child will get a place next September. We have worked hard to try to deal with that in the first two years of Government. We dealt with the backlog and got new schools and new classes. The NCSE has approved more classes. We have approved substantial funding for education build this year, so these situations should not be manifesting. I will talk to the Minister in respect of it.
