    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson for the comprehensive response. As I agree with the response and the stipulated suggestions, allow me to say that a crisis is the best time to find and utilise what could be seen to be attractive solutions. The bigger the problem, the bigger the crisis, the bigger the opportunity to make a lasting difference. A crisis helps to discover problems. It is, indeed, clear in our country that as we celebrate or keep hoping that we are going to open schools, it would be useful, in a context where we have just emphasised the importance of data, to recognise that we are going to find there are going to be very many girls who will not find their way to school. Projecting ahead, we are going to find that a whole generation is lost. It is for this reason that, as I appreciate this very particular and substantive response, especially the opening acknowledgement that parents are really the first line of duty and that Governments cannot take the place of parents. Based on my experience having served in Government as the Permanent Secretary (PS), the Government is the closest that our children have when they are in a crisis like this to not only comprehensively and in a sustainable manner address the issue. We cannot in a way just leave the matter at the perspective of dealing with technical working groups or looking at the gender and education committee of in a way doing business as usual. It is for this reason that I urge the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to deal. I appreciate the manner in which it was recognised that this matter cuts The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
