    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. Capitation is always delayed, and it is never enough. The Petitioner has raised a matter here on whether the Government knows the number of children. Let us be honest with ourselves. The Government knows the number of children in every school. Every classroom teacher must sign a class register every single day, morning and afternoon, confirming the number of children in the school. It is not rocket science. Every principal knows the number of children. The problem we face is when we are told the children must have birth certificates to be put in the NEMIS. Unfortunately, it is also the Government that controls their production and delivery. Parents are unable to get them unless they queue for long hours. Many children do not have birth certificates and are not put in the system. There was a time when we were supporting examinations. The amount of money allocated for examinations and sports is too little that it cannot run the education system. How do we increase the capitation to make it enough for our children? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
