    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My question is technical. The key issue is the banding instrument. You said that you are using means testing. Which means testing are you using? Is it a proxy means testing or any other means testing? When you started using it, was there any public survey to validate the instrument? For example, if you used it and the public looked at the income of the families, did the instrument show the correct figures? Now that you have used it before, is there any public survey for verification? If you look at what the instrument has given you and you take a sample without going through the whole country, have you found that the income indicated in the bands is reflected in the students’ homesteads? In paragraph 4, out of the 138,000 students admitted to universities, 124,000 reported and 75,000 paid fees. When you analysed these figures, how did they relate to the banding? Which bands were able to pay and which ones were not? That gives you a reflection of the instrument you are using. Even with all these things you are saying, if that instrument is not working, you will not get anywhere."
