    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, one such condition is that there must be a properly registered school in accordance with the Education Act. Otherwise, we will allow so many mushrooming schools from the periphery wanting to compete for free secondary education support. Two, it must open a tuition account far away from the normal school account that runs other services. Three, it must open an operation account that will operationalise its activities in that respect. Fourth, it must have an up to date enrolment figures. The schools were pre-warned that, come January, 2008, one of the criteria that will be used in assessing whether the school is growing is the number of students. In view of the scarcity of the number of teachers that are to be allocated to various secondary schools; it was important to maximise the services of teachers hence the need to have adequate number of children who are able to enjoy the resources that the Government has put at their disposal. Fifth, it must be viable as indicated above. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that all the four schools; Bumamu, Manyala, Shinamwenyuli and Shiraha have fulfilled the conditions. For example, the enrolment for Bumamu Secondary School was 92 in December last year. It now stands at 162 which is a very commendable effort by that school. Manyala Secondary School had 126 students and it has now 189 students. Shinamwenyuli had 121 students and it has now 150 students and Shiraha has now 180 students. For the sake of security, I cannot quote their bank accounts but they have now been availed to me. They are available with me. I want to assure the hon. Member, that by the time I left my office this afternoon, the money had been sent through telegraphic money transfer. So, after 48 hours or, at least, by tomorrow, the money will be in their bank accounts."
