    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to commend the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education for coming up with the Report. I also want to raise the same concerns that Sen. Wetangula has mentioned; they are valid and serious concerns. I am a product of a system that Sen. Wetangula has mentioned. By the time a student was going to the university after A-Level, he or she was mature enough to cope up with university education and transit to the world of work. As the Standing Committee on Education, we need to interrogate this because there are many issues to do with the Competency Based Curriculum ( CBC ) in terms of delivery and teacher competency, and it is taking in a lot of money. When you look at transition to the world of work, one is left to wonder what happens eventually. Therefore, there is need for us, as the Standing Committee on Education, to interrogate the Competency Based Curriculum ( CBC ) system. This is because, initially, we had quality education with the 7-4-2-3 system, as compared to the Competency Based Curriculum ( CBC ) system. There is need for us, as a nation, to appreciate that when someone comes up with a proposal to begin a new curriculum, we should not just move with the wave. This is because we are products of previous curriculum and saw how it worked. For me and many other children, who came from low socioeconomic backgrounds, it worked well. I second the Report and support Sen. Wetangula’s proposition. Thank you."
