    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank all the hon. Members who have supported this Motion. Once this Motion is passed, the Government should be able to practise what this Motion is urging them to do. Some of us were teachers in the former system of education and the current one. So, we know the merits and demerits of both systems of education. When we stand here to talk of the merits of the former system of education, we know better of what we are talking about than some hon. Members who have talked against it. The duration covered in both systems of education is 16 years. Therefore, there is no change in terms of the number of years a student will complete in school. What really matters here is the structure of the education system and that is what hon. Members are concerned with. We need to put in place a mechanism whereby students who go to secondary school and qualify are given a chance to pursue the \"A\" Level education. Those who do not qualify should be allowed to pursue other courses at that secondary level and then proceed to university. That will bring professionalism in our education system. That is what is being done in our neighbouring countries and it is what we are advocating for. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to move."
