    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Education does not classify various areas and districts in this country as hardship areas. That is done by the Ministry of State for Public Service, which has all the criteria. However, I can tell the hon. Member part of the criteria that is used. To classify an area as hardship area, the Government, through the Ministry of State for Public Service, looks into availability and accessibility of food and portable water, climatic conditions, availability of basic social services and amenities, transport and communication services, the security situation and the possibility of security threat. So, it does not fall under the mandate of the Ministry of Education to do that job. Right now, as we know, the Ministry of State for Public Service has been reviewing the issue relating to hardship areas and hardship allowances to civil servants. When the Ministry of State for Public Service will be ready to inform us on the decision of the Government, we shall, accordingly, make changes."
