    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I will hold a series of meetings not only with the Treasury, but also with hon. Members of this House in order to assist us in the actual recruitment of teachers whose guidelines are being issued today. Those guidelines will require that the District Education Boards (DEBs) be in a position to assist in the recruitment of teachers transparently. We do not want any influence. There are no positions at the Ministry's headquarters or at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). The positions are at the level of the DEBs. All candidates are required to do so. Secondly, I indicated to the House that in the Printed Estimates there was an indication that we might be allowed to employ additional teachers as interns. Under that circumstance, I will be raising certain discussions with the Treasury with a view of funding that programme. In addition to what is going to be an establishment in the current Budget, it may give us a window of opportunity to employ more intern teachers to alleviate the acute shortage."
