    "content": "First, education in Matungu Constituency remains behind more than other regions in the country. Very many parents cannot afford to take their children to school anymore. Parents used to depend on their only cash crop, sugar cane farming, to take their children to school and fulfil other family needs. Unfortunately, that is no longer available. Therefore, Matungu Constituency witnesses a lot of school dropouts. We have very many school dropouts especially the girl child. Very many poor parents are presented with a situation on whether to educate the boy or the girl. Obviously, the vote goes to the boy. So, most girls do not get the opportunity to go to school. That is why we have very many dropouts, early pregnancies and marriages. This is something that goes on in Matungu Constituency unabated. Therefore, poverty eradication mechanisms need to be put in place through women and youth empowerment, so that we can create incomes for the general population for them to sustain their lives."
