I have one other point, a substantive one. It seems from reading the report that there is an emphasis on students aged up to 15. A sizeable proportion of the students of the life centre with whom I am most familiar are above that age. I realise the report is to emphasise the return to mainstream education. That is the ideal scenario, but the Minister, having taught in a classroom for long enough, like me, will know that is not always the end result and that a certain percentage of students will never return to mainstream education. What is the plan for students over 16 if that eventuality transpires?
