    "content": "our children if the teachers, the people who are nurturing them, and educating them are so badly off. Madam Deputy Speaker, be it statutory deductions, health insurance, salaries, something has to be done because these are the people nurtured us. We are here standing before you today because of the teachers that taught us. The judges, the President and everybody you can think of went through the hands of teachers. However, we are a society that does not respect, does not support and does not take care of its teachers. That puts the future of our children at stake. To hear that they have such a bad cover with AON MINET--- We are not here to make any case for any insurance company, or to spoil business for any company, but it is about time our teachers got the care they deserve. They cannot nurture our children if their health and the health of their families is in jeopardy, especially during this time. If their health is not taken care of, can you imagine what then can be spread to our own children? It is in our interest as parents and as citizens to make sure we look after our teachers. This is because the future of our children is mostly in the hands of our teachers. Madam Deputy Speaker, when there were radio programmes for schools, our teachers were volunteering and working. For instance, Teacher Triza and others were volunteering. Many of them do so. They do not get any compensation, but they go an extra mile. What do they get? They do not even have a basic medical cover that would help them take of themselves and their families. Madam Deputy Speaker, I support and I hope the Committee will do justice to this and that this country starts to look at its key professionals, especially its teachers and give them the respect and the care they deserve. I support."
