    "content": "Another issue around COVID-19 is schools. There are many people who talk bout the curve flattening. The curve might not flatten. There could be another wave. I commend the Government for doing a great job to ensure that our casualties are at least not as bad, had we had not taken precaution. However, the impact of schools being closed has so many faults in terms of economics. It has been scientifically proven that the longer the schools are closed, the longer it will have an impact. There are many issues around gender based violence, with children being molested and cases of early pregnancies. Seeing that schools are closed, it is causing a lot of problems for this country. I think that the earlier schools reopen--- It is not that we do not want our children at home; we really value them as our children. The other day, I heard a story of how having schools closed is negatively impacting the future generations of this country. I think we need to address that issue urgently."
