    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this noble proposal on the Open University and, just like other Members have stated, I think this is the greatest opportunity that majority of our kids have across the country. There are so many parents who are not able to take their sons and daughters to the university because of causes related to their tuition fees, accommodation and other maintenance costs. This comes in handy because the people of Buuri and the children of Buuri will benefit. This is the best option for families that are not endowed to take their children to the university and afford the courses. I join my colleagues to say that this is a very noble idea. It is going to create accessibility to education to a majority of our children and it is going to ease the burden of expenses to our parents. It is going to give alternatives to where there would be no alternatives. The only issue that I would like to note is that some courses might not be offered by the Open University. I am worried about the science subjects which are important and we are encouraging our kids to study, for example, the technical programmes requiring the practicals, guidance and careful assessment.
