    "content": "Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in most countries, at the age of 18, our youth should not depend on our parents. They should go out and fend for themselves. If the HELB can capture everybody above age 18 to get a loan so that they repay for themselves, we shall be able to free our very poor parents from the burden of educating everybody including a married son or a married daughter. The problem currently, and the reason why we cannot move out of the poverty, is the fact that we are depending on a very poor parent to educate the child from nursery to university and after that we are expecting the same parent to be able to provide for jobs because there are no jobs. We are expecting the same parent to provide land for a youth who is educated as well as the youth who has not been educated. So to be able to move out of the poverty circle--- our Constitution talks of an adult being 18 years, that these people should be independent from their parents. We need to support them at that age so that they can move out train them, facilitate them, make sure that they refund after they have been trained but enable them to live independently out of the closet of their parents. It has also brought in a lot of social problems and created social misfits within the families when you have a grown up of 35 years still depending on the parents to be able to complete a degree under the mature programme. I think it is very important that each of us supports this motion, and seek for speedy change of rules and regulations or policies within the Ministry of Education to ensure that everybody after 18 years can independently depend on the government, and not the parent."
