    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are stakeholders who have been interfering with the management of schools. These include politicians. Politicians always indicate that, \"unless so and so heads that school, there is no rule\". Politicians have their choices of principals. Politicians also insist on having certain teachers who sometimes do not even perform. The same applies to sponsors. Recently, we had problems with several faith-based schools who insisted on certain teachers to be the principals of secondary schools or they say they do not want certain teachers. I remember early this month, I had very bad encounters with some leaders of faith-based organisations because they insisted on having certain teachers to be appointed principals of those schools, although they did not have the qualifications. When the Provincial Director of Education (PDE) did not allow it, they camped at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to insist on some individuals to head those schools. We appeal to sponsors, most of whom are faith-based, to help us in proper management of schools. Otherwise, if faith-based organisations insist on their people being appointed principals of schools, we will end up with problems."
