"content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. It is indeed true that COVID-19 came with a lot of challenges and our learners had been away for nine months. Now they have to adjust going back to the school system. Many of them are very anxious and depressed. Therefore, their mental health and state is very critical. We would like to know from the Committee maybe to ensure learners’ mental health is taken care of. By this I mean maybe having professional counselors attached to the schools. I am happy that the Chairperson of the Committee on Education has touched on return to school for girls who fell pregnant during the period. I think every girl has a right to education. Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to also know what strategies are there to ensure that the return to school policy is fully implemented. No girls should be allowed to stay at home simply because they fell pregnant. It is their right and they have to go back to school."
