I will move on to SNAs. In recent years, the number of SNAs in primary schools has increased by more than 5,000. In view of the changes that have occurred because of the new challenges posed by Covid, what increase, percentage-wise, do we believe we need to start planning for? The other aspect of this is whether we need to put in place additional training for people working in the area. As I said earlier, there is a new set of rules for dealing with the challenges in the educational system. Is there a need to devise additional training in this area?
