    "content": "Gentlemen, we can laugh but those are very serious issues. If we want the students to have skills in agriculture and create artefacts, they will need workshops. Some of us went to primary schools when there were workshops. I do not hear about workshops anymore. When do they transition from a laboratory to a workshop? This is because they do different things. When is the streaming going to happen? When you have streamed, you will know who will need workshops and who will need laboratories. Where are those issues being discussed? We have put the cart before the horse. We must go back, as Hon. Ruku has indicated, and do the planning. If we meant well, this Government is in a position to slow down the process and say it is not satisfied with the planning. It can slow it down for one year and plan it properly. The country can accept that. We must reach a point where we are not driven by politics. I know 2027 is coming, but it is the good work that will take us there and not the impressions that we create. Impressions will fizzle out and the real work will stand out. So, let us go back and do the right thing even if we are doing it late. It is better late than never. Let us go and look at our kids. I support this Motion. We need to remove the word “urges”. We should amend the Motion and replace this word with the word “resolve”. The word “urges” means they may or they may not heed the prayer contained in the Motion, but we want them to do so. If we have to upgrade the Motion to a Bill, Hon. Ruku should go ahead and do it. On this one, we will support him, unlike when I always oppose him in television discussions. That is politics, but now it is about our children. We will support it. He should bring a Bill.
