"content": "On the issue of employment of teachers, the Teachers Service Commission Secretary has tried his level best to bring equity. However, I want to remind him that teachers who were recruited are not sufficient. I know that the job is monumental and it is not easy to balance. I want to recommend that the TSC be given a lot of funds so that they can employ many teachers. I know of several schools in pastoral regions where you have one teacher against five classes. This is an extra burden, as somebody said, to many parents. There is also the issue of centres of excellence. This is a brilliant idea by the Ministry. But we want these funds to be disbursed to the respective districts as a matter of urgency. You would find that if you are not careful in disbursing these funds, we may actually reach 2012 without a single school having being built. So, we want disbursement of these funds to be fast-tracked. We also want the issue of bureaucracy and red tape to be reduced so that these schools can be build and the participation of local leaders can be enhanced."
