From my understanding you have 135 licensed, teachers.
1:29:45
Right?
1:29:45
So, in the 135 do you mind to tell me where they're located based on, I think we have about, 1800 schools, but you don't, not 1800 you're going to have the licensed teachers, but I would like to know where you have those, licensed one located.
