The Department has been very proactive in trying to address the question of the permanent recognition of the school and its door is always open. It is willing to collaborate with the school to achieve that recognition. As the Senator has mentioned and I pointed out in my initial response, there are certain issues relating to the delivery of the curriculum in the school's junior classes. If the school and the Department were to collectively focus on how these challenges can be overcome, we could move towards a point where recognition could be achieved soon. If these issues can be addressed, recognition can be achieved in the very near future.
