He said: “If it were possible for me to give my life to my daughters, I would.” That is not the right person to be targeted. The Ministry of Education should wake up. If they are really serious about the 100 per cent transition policy, then they have to support Members of Parliament in funding schools. Schools are very few in some of the constituencies and students have no other options to choose from. Therefore, in a bid to support them further their education, we have to accommodate them in those few schools. In some areas, parents are not able to pay school fees. Therefore, the issue of school fees is not there. I think we need to focus on congestion, facilities, sanitation and all the other important issues. The Ministry of Education has a huge budget allocation and, therefore, it needs to come and support those schools if at all we have to help those students. It is very embarrassing that we are losing young lives and a Cabinet Secretary just decides to deal with the Board and the school Principal without solving the problem."
