I think Ms Cregg has said that the pilot projects have been successful so far, bearing in mind the interruption caused by Covid. Has the use of the restricted timetable been diminished? We have spoken about this issue previously because we are very concerned. I ask the delegation to comment on homework clubs as well. Have homework clubs been tried?
I have visited a few of those homework clubs and I thought they were very impressive. They help young Travellers to get ahead of the posse, by having their homework done and having an understanding in order that when they go into school the next day, they know what is going on and are up with or maybe even ahead of their peers.
