I thank the Minister for her response. It is important that people know it is an independent process and I accept it is. This removes any illusion that people can interfere in the process and I welcome that. I find it illogical, however, that a school, which for the first time received its fourth teacher last year, is losing one this year. I find it hard to explain that to parents, and rightly so. When the number increases from 78 to 87, that should be reconsidered. We appealed twice under two different criteria. I would appreciate it if the Minister could look into how this is addressed.
