    "content": "have a problem in our schools. Education is what we can give to a country. Our children and generations to come can only be guaranteed when we have a better framework of education. I rise here today to speak on the issue of delocalisation, which commenced in 2018. Without any preparations or participation by unions and stakeholders, the Teachers Service Commission began to move teachers from one school to another. Teachers were moved as animals and not as human beings. Education is culture-based. When I was in school, my teacher began to teach me in this format: ma me mi mo mu, pa pe pi po pu . Education is culture-based and local. You can imagine if, in my school - Shibuli in Butsotso, I had a teacher from another place with a different accent teaching me how to say those sounds. The TSC contravened the basic tenets of education. Education is local. Teaching is local. We are building and putting up a lot of infrastructure in schools. We pride ourselves on the number of schools we have built as Members of Parliament. We put up storey buildings but we forget that if the welfare of the teacher is not taken care of, the storey building is of no good. Teachers whose welfare is taken care of can post good results even if they are teaching under a tree. We have invested heavily and immensely."
