"content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, speaking for 60 seconds is difficult. The problem is that we do not have a consistent calendar for these students. Students are in school for two weeks, then sent home for midterm. They are asked to bring laptops when the parents cannot even afford a mulika mwizi. We are demanding so much from the Ministry of Education yet this is our responsibility as parents and leaders. It is time to sit down and play our oversight role and direct. I know some of us here will say we cannot direct, we recommend. What is going on started with Eor Ekule Secondary school where students decided to set a dormitory on fire just because they were being denied to go and preach. They wanted to have a home-coming ceremony. I feel sorry for this current generation. If we do not play our role as leaders to guide them, I do not know what will become of other future generations. The current generation is so entitled. We have made them entitled. We are guilty. Madam Deputy Speaker, instead of pointing all the blame at the Ministry of Education, the best thing we can do is to sit down and evaluate what is wrong with 8-4-4 system."
