    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in terms of geography, I did say that there is already an emphasis by the Ministry to spend more in areas that have been historically disadvantaged. That is why we have special grants for ASAL areas in terms of laboratory equipment, special grants and so on. Personally, I have also spoken very strongly about affirmative action with regard to admission to top schools and even to university in this country. I have said many times that it is up to Parliament to pass a Motion on affirmative action to ensure that small secondary schools are not disadvantaged when it comes to admission to universities. It is up to Parliament to do that, because this is a very sensitive issue. It touches on the private sector and on a lot of us who are privileged, who would like to reproduce our privilege in our children. So, unless that happens in this House, forget it. It is not enough to just talk about it."
