    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to congratulate the Government for the initiatives that it has made as far as primary education is concerned in this country. If you remember, when we had 8-4-2-3 system, there was kind of pruning. When students got to Form Four, there are those who remained there. They only went to technical colleges and so on. The rest went to Form Five and Six. There was a sieving mechanism, whereby we did not have the kind of situation we have today where at the Form Four level, there are so many students but those going to university are very few, which means so many students miss going to university. These are the students that we need to take care of in this Motion. I know politics has interfered with education more often than not. The Ministry of Education is sometimes one Ministry and sometimes it is split and in the process, some information that is kept is lost. I think it is time that we got structures in place so that when we talk about education, there is a Ministry dealing with it. We should not have this business of splitting Ministries. At the moment, we have the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education. I think there is confusion there which can be taken care of if we have proper reforms and structures in place which determine what sector we are talking about."
