    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the action by Boards of Governors to employ teachers at the secondary school level is always welcome. It is a partnership action. We welcome it in this country. However, I have already given tacit information that Uhuru-Kabiyet Secondary School will be given priority. Let me inform the House that it is not only Uhuru-Kabiyet Secondary School which is under-staffed. We have a shortage of 12,000 teachers in the country, at the secondary school-level, and a countrywide shortage of about 47,000 teachers at the primary school level. If the hon. Member was here yesterday, he must have heard me indicate that, this financial year, we shall be employing 6,000 new teachers. In addition, we shall have 8,000 more teachers to replace those who have exited the service through retirement or death. I indicated that the Printed Estimates have given us a leeway to employ intern teachers. We are now working on modalities of how to issue guidelines in support of that programme."
