    "content": "schools. The infrastructure in public schools is poor. The money that is supposed to be used to put up infrastructure in public schools as well as that meant to support free primary and secondary education is not released on time. The Ministry will say that they have disbursed the funds but they will take six months before they actually release the money. By the time they release the money, head teachers will have sent the children home several times to look for fees, which they cannot get from their parents because of the poor economy. It is high time that the Ministry of Education gave a serious look into the affairs of public schools so that they can at least match the standards of private schools. Finally, there is the issue of school fees which is being charged every term. Last term was only one month but parents had to cough a whole three months’ fees. This academic year will last only seven months but parents are paying the same amount of fees they were paying when the syllabus used to be covered in a year. This arrangement is very unfair; it is hurting parents. It is hurting the economy. This should be looked into. The Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Education should come in and address all these issues so that at least we have a uniform way of running our curriculum and syllabuses. Thank you, Hon. Speaker"
