“There is not a breakdown. We met with B.N.T.U. just before going off for Christmas holidays and we have been meeting with the B.N.T.U. constantly. The president and I speak often so we are in dialogue. There is no breakdown and I don’t know why they claim a breakdown. We cannot tell them exactly what will be done as yet because we need to look at the calendar. When we met with them, it was just before the Christmas holidays. Everybody went on holiday, even myself so now that we are back, we are going to look at that school’s calendar.”
