That is critical. I am conscious that the new system of post allocation that is planned is based on current student needs and a range of criteria, and it is for a two to three-year period. My question relates to new schools for rapidly-expanding schools where a significant number of new students are enrolled within the school at any one time. This can be in areas of high population growth or where, for example, a significant number of Ukrainian students may be taken on board. Will the Minister of State outline what provision will be made for schools in those circumstances?
