    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I am going to read from a script that is different from the one used by my colleague who has just finished his submissions. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the last time we talked about CBC was when the committee of experts came and presented what they found out down there in the villages. In my constituency, the CBC has many challenges. In fact, even getting teachers to teach in junior secondary schools is a challenge. The Government is experiencing challenges in employing sufficient teachers to teach our children. Parents are also being pressed too much in the sense that they are being asked for money for JSS and secondary schools. Some parents are taking their children to private schools. Over the weekend, many parents came to me asking for support on JSS. I thought the Government was going to finance everything about the JSS programme. As we can see, the Government is struggling to even raise money for development projects. Why do we need a lot of money for the infrastructure of the new curriculum? As parliamentarians, we leave our places of work very late. Everybody who is working does so, not just parliamentarians. When we leave our places of work, we are very tired. Once you reach home, you are again ambushed by homework, which nobody can concentrate on when tired. For this reason, people from my constituency are experiencing challenges and they say they are not supporting the CBC. I submit that the CBC be relooked at so that we have some good ground to move on."
