I thank the Minister. If the matter can be clarified further, I would appreciate it.
My second point relates to the trend in the number of people who are studying on a part-time or flexible basis. Judging by these figures, the number increased by approximately 11% or 12% since 2017 and 2018. This is a trend that is likely to continue into the future. There is a progress review on the national access plan due later this year. Will the Minister clarify the timeline for that? Are we to expect that review later this year?
