Mr. Bennett is making a very interesting point, because many of those schools are now derelict. Many of them have nobody in them and many of them have had to pay significant moneys to keep older members of those communities in homes and may have to sell parts of the schools. However, he is making a point about an unintended consequence of raising a caste system - of a percentage for one and a lesser percentage for another.
