    "content": "Government should have actually set aside more money to ensure that parents are not overburdened by the new education system. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I also want to talk about the system that was used in picking out schools that were made junior secondary schools. In my locality, it is being said that any school that had less than 45 students could not enjoy the junior secondary school facility. You find that in a sub-location, there are many schools which have less than 45 students in Grade Six. It becomes possible that a whole locality of a sub-location might miss any school offering junior secondary school education. So, children will now have to walk far and wide in search of a junior secondary school. These students will eventually drop out because they cannot walk such long distances to get into junior secondary schools. What happens to 100 per cent transition? We are now going to get less children joining junior secondary schools than there were in Grade Six because they have to cover long distances. I am also thinking about the parents. These are parents who are nurturing their children. A parent has a Grade Six child and another one who is joining Form One. The Grade Six child will now have a new uniform and the Standard Eight child, who is probably their first born, is wearing shorts and still looking like he is not the senior that he is to the Grade Six child, who is going to junior secondary school. We know what sibling rivalry can cause in a family. Parents are now being overburdened emotionally and financially. I also want to suggest that even if a school had less than 45 candidates in a class, if you look at that locality…."
