    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the rising cases of fires in boarding schools countrywide. I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to the families who have tragically lost their children due to the recent fire outbreaks in various schools. I also wish a speedy recovery to the children that were injured during the incidents. In the statement, the committee should- (1) State whether all boarding schools have complied with Government building specifications and whether learners have any training on how to respond to emergency situations. (2) Explain whether there is an appropriate age upon which a learner should be admitted into a boarding school and whether all boarding schools have matrons accommodated within the dormitories to help learners in case of emergencies. (3) State any plans the Ministry of Education has put in place to make sure that all schools with boarding facilities are well equipped with emergency kit and equipment, emergency exits, security alarms and well-trained security guards. (4) Outline any actions the Ministry has put in place to ensure all boarding schools are registered and that they have guidance and counselling experts at hand to attend to learners, their families and staff in the occurrence of a disaster."
