That is fair enough. I thank the witnesses. We may agree to disagree on aspects of school delivery. I hope this has been a valuable exercise for the witnesses also in terms of listening to the principals earlier and understanding the huge amount of work they have to do around the learning and informal learning environment to have a positive impact on students' lives. They have to deal with all of the red tape that seems to be making life more difficult all the time. We will revisit the matter and consider recommendations as a committee. I acknowledge that the Minister sets policy which the officials have to implement. We appreciate it.
