    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate my colleague Hon. Ruku for being the first to do this. Whereas many of my colleagues have argued that the implementation of CBC was rushed, I will take a completely different view. Inertia and failure by Government machinery amount to less time for people to implement a policy. Up to where we are today, we have done well over eight years into CBC. By now, we should have learnt the ropes of what we need. What is ailing CBC and the implementation of JSS? Rightfully so, the lack of policy and clear framework on what needs to be done by whom and when. Every day, the Executive is taken by surprise. We have not put enough into the planning of this excellent, if well-implemented, system that will change the life of our nation. It is true that even in my constituency, several schools were left out. When I looked at the tool that was being used, it was a very subjective tool. It depended on the people who visited the school. Eventually, almost all my schools were put back. It was shocking that a school that had classes even up to Class Eight could not be approved to have JSS simply because they thought the amount of land was insufficient. So, I asked: “What does a JSS class require if I have been having up to Class Eight and you cannot allow the same school to run a JSS class?” Hon. Temporary Speaker, my proposal is basic: All primary schools must have JSS. For many years in this country, we have lived a lie. If we are not careful to correct the mistakes of the past, education is going to be only for the rich. I see an opportunity in JSS that will equalize all of us into having the same kind of education. Why do I say this? The decision to host JSS in primary school is one step towards equalization.
