You can see why people would be concerned. It is because we are living in such a fast-moving external environment none of us here really know what education delivery is going to look like internationally in ten or 15 years in terms of opportunities, the position in wider society and all of that. It is just more than a perception that it is very slow. I am not sufficiently familiar with the information internationally to be able to make comparisons, but what I will say is that we need to do everything possible. If there is a certain number of subjects being looked at, what are they? It will probably be the 2030s before we see a 60-40 split. We are talking about a future generation of children here. That is the frustrating thing for everybody. What can be done to speed up the process?
