    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I will answer the first question by hon. Dr. Khalwale. The competent body that will know the shortages of teachers will be the TSC. There is a ratio that is calculated to know the number of teachers expected in every primary and secondary school based on the core subjects. What I have told you is the correct figure. Last year, when I came before the Floor of this House presenting the Budget, at that time, the shortage was slightly above 50,000 teachers. There has never been recruitment since that time. To refresh the memory of this House, I did come with a very clear proposal to the Floor of this House. I said that barring the 12,500 teachers that had been placed under the Economic Stimulus Package, we still need a continuous, permanent and pensionable teacher employment every year, for the next five years in order to reduce the shortage."
