    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. For sure, transferring an individual four times in six months will not only affect them, but also respective institutions and the learning outcomes. It is not advisable to do so. There must have been circumstances surrounding it because it is not the norm but, rather, an exception. The sponsor of schools, my friend, the Member of Parliament, through you, Hon. Speaker, come from the same area, and he knows the stand of the Catholics or the Seventh Day Adventists (SDA). The way in which they make demands is a delicate balancing act, but somehow, we have to have it done for the stability of schools; and taking into consideration the input of every actor, including the sponsors. It is not that they are authoritative conclusively in whatever request they make, but as TSC considers a request from a Member of Parliament, they would also consider requests from sponsors of schools. May it be a Catholic, Muslim- sponsored, Seventh-Day Adventist or any other church. Members of Parliament are aware that there were recommendations that were made by their Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms; recommendations which, as a Ministry, we have done a Sessional Paper, which would be a vehicle driving the recommendations to this House. I, entirely, depend on the wisdom of this House for us to implement whatever is recommended. Some of the discussions we are having herein, are part of the recommendations that have been made in that Taskforce Report."
