"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have just received the news that the strike has been called off, but there are some things that we can say concerning the strike, and that we should learn from. Previously, when I was growing up, the people who had the best houses, the best vehicles, the most beautiful wives, the best clothes and shoes were teachers. I do not know what has happened. If you go to the rural areas, that is no longer the case. We should go back to the former position. Teachers were well respected, because of the way they dressed and the houses they lived in. In my village, three teachers had pick-ups, while other people used to walk. We need to go back to that position by paying them adequate salaries. By adequate salaries, I mean that there should be no distinction between teachers and the civil servants. If a teacher is in Grade \"A\", then he or she should get the same salary and allowances as that person in Grade \"A\" in the main Civil Service."
