    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to ask a follow-up question on JSS. My constituency, Mr. Cabinet Secretary, has 201 registered primary schools, of which 112 were approved to offer Junior Secondary School. Young pupils travel long distances to get this particular service. I would like to know the criteria the Ministry uses to approve one school and to disapprove another. Do you use the same criteria to approve schools in rural areas and those in urban centres? Could the CS state the measures the Ministry took to speed up the approval process for the remaining schools in Chepalungu Constituency to Junior Secondary School centres considering the increased dropout rates amongst children who lack the resources to travel long distances to attend the approved schools. I want the Cabinet Secretary to explain why there are disparities in the recruitment of teachers, particularly those who are serving as interns and graduated between 2016 and 2018, and yet their counterparts who graduated in 2019 have been recruited as replacement teachers on permanent and pensionable terms. Lastly, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like the Cabinet Secretary to provide timelines in which the teachers under contract will be considered for recruitment under permanent and pensionable terms. Thank you."
