-----because that is not what we are about.

To return to the point I raised with Deputy Alan Farrell, there will also potentially be a significant proportion of students who will want to keep doing their Ukrainian programme. Quite a number of universities in Ukraine provide online education. Therefore, they will be relying on our colleges for support, wrap-around services and additional tutorials, rather than being a full-time student there. We are working our way through this on a case-by-case basis at the moment. I will keep the Deputy and the committee up to date on the issue. I get a read out from the helpline and I am happy to share it with the committee on a monthly basis. If it is useful to let the committee see what information is coming through, I would be very happy to do that.
