    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot tell the hon. Member for sure that the overall shortage of teachers is 60,000, and out of that there are 47,200 at the primary school level and 12,000 at the secondary school level. The number of slots that are available for recruitment are 6,000. The number of slots available due to natural attrition are 8,428. Given these figures, and given the provision in the Printed Estimates, it is impossible to even guarantee 25 per cent. What I said, and I want to confirm it to this honourable House, is that we will endeavour to make sure that in the process of rationalisation, we will look at the areas that are hard hit, particularly where there is only a provision of two TSC employees within a school. In addition, there will be intern teachers. We are working out the modalities and the guidelines on how best we can assist those institutions that are hard hit in the provision of teachers. It would have been my wish to provide teachers to everybody but the reality is that the Printed Estimates have a caveat."
