007at the school who takes advantage of that particular situation. Is that right? Yes. Right. Okay. Good. Thank you for the explanation. So just to add to that, uh you asked the decision of who who who made it. Of course, Dr. Brackens and I made it because in the in the past, uh we would focus on those schools that uh either dropped or that were very very low.
