Chairperson, we are trying on a consistent basis to improve the administration of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, although I must say it's one of the best administered financial aid schemes that I have ever seen in any part of the world. We have made changes in order to assist students, and Mr Mpontshane is fully aware of this. Previously, students had difficulties because of institutions' demand for what were called "upfront payments". From 2006, we made an allocation available to every university to assist all applicants right at the beginning of the year so that they didn't have this burden of upfront payments.
There are a number of policy questions that we need to look at, such as how best we might improve the scheme and its efficacy. But I think that is a longer-term investigation that is underway by the board of the National Student Financial Aids Scheme. I can assure Mr Mpontshane that the funding will be utilised very well for students who are financially needy, but who also have the academic potential to succeed.
