They always do that though. They have to. During an election, a politician is really just a salesperson. He is trying to sell his education plan, or his domestic plan or his counter-terrorism plan... So a question about GT ed is an excuse to talk about his education plan; nothing more, nothing less. No politician gives details at that stage. Not ever!
That's why I'm with Inky: he acknowledged that GTness exists and that programs should be funded. That's more than I would expect under the circumstances.
