    "content": "Initially we thought NYS was a good and noble idea, but it is not giving us desirable results. Our youth cannot get employed. They trained for six months, graduated and now they are idling around. They do not have anywhere to go. They cannot practise skills that they were trained on. In any case they did not get skills, maybe paramilitary skills and they cannot use them. So, we need to redesign the NYS programme and make sure that the youth get relevant skills. We should change the way the programme is run. Lastly, I want to talk about education. We need more money to be put in education. We need to invest in education. Now, we are talking about free primary school and free secondary school yet when you go to the ground, you find that in most schools, parents are employing teachers. They have Board of Management (BOM) or Parents Teachers Association (PTA) teachers. The ratio of government employed teachers to that employed by parents is small. Parents are spending a lot of money. They are bearing a lot of burden in employing teachers to teach in schools yet we still call it free primary and free secondary education. We need more money to go to education sector so that we invest a lot in it. With those few remarks, I beg to support. Thank you."
