Additional one-to-one tuition is offered and available for learners with very weak language skills and literacy difficulties in their own language who may find it beneficial. I do not have the facts and figures for the take-up, but I can obtain them for the Deputy. The onus is on the ETBs which can offer 20 hours a week, although as I have explained, we find that many refugees and asylum seekers are unable to avail of them. The ETBs may offer more than 20 hours and most offer one-on-one tuition. I will revert to the Deputy with the facts and figures.
