The number of students in the Sufficiently Independent category has increased, but there are still students in the Less Independent category. In Cycle II, the most striking changes occurred. The number of students in the Very Independent category increased significantly. This shows that the majority of students now have a high level of independence, with great achievements in increasing their independence compared to the previous cycle.
