And so now we've had this this black hole where we didn't know that our young people didn't know the times tables, didn't know the basic facts, weren't on track with reading until they get to high school and sit N CEA. Turns out, oh, whoops, can't read and write, can't do maths. You have to have a bit of sunlight and accountability in this sector. And this is the first time we have had uh not only those you just mentioned that I'm putting in, but actually of today, we have a twice-yearly reading, writing, and maths assessment from year three to year eight. That has never happened in our history of our country before. It's underway right now, and we did it. If I told you this, Matt, Mike, three years ago that we were going to have a nationally consistent assessment in year three to eight twice a year, I would have been laughed out of the room. But we have it today, and we delivered it. And I'm and parents will now start to see those results.
