That is good. I know in the past it has caused a lot of anxiety, especially for mothers whose children were in school at 9 a.m. and gone at 10 a.m. There did not seem to be any kind of follow-up or connectivity but I am glad to hear it is being monitored closely now and that systems are in place to ensure that children are not on the streets when they should be in school or at home.

How many homework clubs are there? Where are they? What levels are they working at? Are they for primary or secondary school? How many children are benefiting from them?
