    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in my constituency, as one of our strategic plans, we resolved that we will have a secondary school for every primary school and we have succeeded to do that. Our problem now is that we are not being given teachers by the TSC. Whenever we establish a secondary school, we get only one teacher who becomes the principal. So, the parents are forced to hire other teachers privately. We need to give all schools adequate number of teachers. The issue of teacher shortage should be declared a national disaster so that money from the Government emergency fund can be used to hire more teachers. When you are told that there is a shortage of more than 60,000 teachers, if we employed today 60,000 teachers in the rural areas, they would improve the economy of the rural areas. Teachers were the only ones, during my time, who could afford to drink bottled beer. The rest of the people had to do with busaa . If we do that, we will improve the economy in the rural areas and the domino effect will increase disposable income in the rural areas and other small businesses can take place. Even if the Government were to borrow money and employ the 60,000 teachers to address the shortage, to me, it is a good investment. We will not go wrong."
