    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I tell the hon. Member that this quota system was a product of a commission that was appointed by a previous Government and it was established according to recommendations. However, in the quota system, our schools are categorized as national, provincial and district schools. The formula for taking students into the national schools is the number of candidates in a particular district where that student did his examination, divided by the number of candidates nationally and then multiplied by the number of vacancies available in that particular school. So that will give a particular candidate a chance. For provincial schools, 60 per cent of the students are drawn from within the district where the school is located and 35 per cent are selected from the districts within the province in which the school is located, and the remaining 5 per cent is drawn from other provinces. Then for district schools, all the students are selected from within the district where that particular school is situated."
