    "content": "Hon. Speaker, a teacher is a very important person. As I have always urged teachers, a teacher does not only teach how to read and write. A teacher moulds characters, instils positive values and generally shapes the life of a child. Therefore, as we stand here today, we sincerely thank the teachers. On my behalf and on behalf of the people of Funyula Constituency, I also join my colleagues as I celebrate the teachers of Funyula Constituency. I know we have had so many challenges but we have managed to surmount those challenges. Indeed, we will continue to address the emerging challenges so that we are able to solve the problems. Finally, as a country, we need to learn to treat teachers well. The situation in which we currently find teachers is not very good. Teachers’ unions have been dismantled by the strong arm of the TSC and they are no longer able to talk for the teachers. They are scattered all over. Teachers’ welfare can no longer be addressed. I just urge the teachers that the best way to solve their problems is to have one united voice. Divided we fall, united we stand. Therefore, they need to come together in big numbers and have a strong voice to enable them agitate for their rights.
