¶ 01 My second supplementary: In 1997, the Ministry set up a special Non-Formal Education Unit specifically to implement compulsory education, but over time it was allowed to atrophy. Even today, there is no clear direction for that unit. What measures are you taking to revitalize the Non-Formal Education Unit?
