    "content": "all. I would like to sincerely thank hon. Members of this House for their solidarity with teachers during this moment. They have shown there is need for us, as a country, to consider the plight of the teachers. As hon. Githae said, a teacher was a point of reference in yesteryears in the society. Today, teachers have been reduced to a level that has forced them to be on the streets. We, as a Committee, in this Report, recommended that there is need for us, as a Government or a country to be proactive in all that we do, so that we do not find ourselves in the current quagmire. The Report captures, very ably, the position taken by students that a lot they learn from school, apart from the core-curriculum, they also have the extra-curriculum. The students told us that what they do depends on what decisions we take as politicians. I call upon us all, as leaders, to realize that there is need to resolve matters through dialogue, so that we do not send wrong signals to our students. For the one-and-a-half weeks that the teachers have been on strike, our students have been seeing them demonstrate, carry twigs, burn effigies and evade tear gas. That is the kind of learning our students have been subjected to. All this has to come to an end."
