    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for that gesture. I also want to point out that, as a committee, we told the TSC to move with speed and identify those teachers who are qualified. As we speak today, there are thousands of graduates teaching in primary schools who are qualified to teach in junior secondary schools. By last week, the TSC said that they had identified 10,000 teachers. We told them that every junior secondary school should have a minimum of four teachers. Further, the reforms that Hon. Kaluma raised are quite in order. Every education system is reviewed after three or four years and, as we speak today, there is a taskforce reviewing the CBC system. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is an outcry by parents that the subjects and teaching areas are too wide. From 12 subjects, it can be reviewed backwards to eight or six. I remember the pioneers of 8-4-4 had 12 teaching areas; but as we speak today, the current crop of 8-4-4 students is doing five subjects. Every education system can be reviewed, looked into, challenges minimised and the areas that are seen as difficult can be talked about and rectified. Therefore, I want to support and say that this system should continue. Let us review the areas that are there and make sure that CBC is a success in our country for present and future generations. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
