We do not have a figure. It cannot be known until children present. Under the new model, provision of special education is based on a profile. We are providing not just for the existing profile but also for 900 additional schools over and above what the existing profile of special education would suggest. We are providing an additional resource and are moving away from the concept of having to have an assessment.
