    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for granting me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Statement of acknowledging our teachers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I stand, I appreciate all the teachers who have played a role in our lives and in the lives of our children, and the lives of the generations before us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, teachers are the people who produce professors, engineers, doctors, politicians, pastors, bishops, nurses and all the professionals that we have in our country. We celebrate our teachers. However, we do very little to appreciate them, which most of the time demoralizes and discourages them in their ministry of giving service to the nation. As we appreciate them, we should also put into consideration the challenges the teachers are going through, especially with COVID-19. Many teachers have not been paid and are struggling because they have been working hard. I know that maybe in their payroll, the TSC have their payments, but as we all know, they are paid very minimal. Therefore, as we appreciate them, we should also see how we can upgrade their scale of salary. They also need to be supported, so that they can improve their academic performance simply because the world is growing and competition is quite high. If one has a diploma, then they need to move to another level. In doing that, we will have supported them. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
