    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, you have mentioned that the TSC prioritizes the old graduates. I am just wondering whether there is a way of mopping all the old ones. I say this because, although you are saying they prioritize, it is the fact that they are given ten points, five points or two points, depending on the year of graduation. It is the highest. However, there are so many other parameters that are used, such that even if you are a graduate of 2010 and somebody gets more parameters on 2015, the one of 2015 simply passes and you are left. This is the cry on the ground. The cry on the ground is that it is not a first-come, first-served employment system. So, is there a way in which you can say anybody who has been there for ten years is mopped since they are all graduates, whether they are Primary 1 (P1) or graduate teachers? Right now, there is a complete mix. We do appreciate that there is a complex way of hiring teachers. However, until we mop those who graduated earlier, they will continue to cry. This question is coming out of a cry from the ground, that there are people who graduated in 2010 and are still out there. Out of the formulas that we have used, we have money to get people of 2015 or 2020. There has to be a way of mopping all this so that we do not have a graduate who has been on the ground for more than ten years. One cried to me and said, I am now 34 years old. Very soon, I will not be employable, yet I have been on the ground since I graduated. He graduated when he was 23. So, this is now 11 years and they are out there. Is there a way in which you can mop all of them? I thank you."
