"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said, the introduction of the free primary education in 2003 targeted the poor. Specifically, in my case, it was an extremely noble idea by the Government to try and create equal opportunities for all. With 97 per cent increase in girls' enrolment and 57 per cent in boys' enrolment in my constituency, pupils have flocked to all schools. There has been demand for more schools and we have built about 20 new schools with the CDF funds. There seems to be a lot of problems. For example, large classes are unmanageable. As a result of the huge number of pupils under one teacher, there have been serious discipline issues which create a breeding ground for other issues. There is also a big disconnect between the pupils and the teachers. There is no relationship between the teachers and their pupils because when you have one teacher teaching 3740 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 6, 2007 100 pupils, he cannot be able to give special attention to the pupils in all the subjects. This results in low quality education."
