    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I am not going to take very long. I stand here to support the Minister's presentation. I think this House should, as an obligation, encourage this Ministry. When the Government decided to implement the idea that had existed for many years - free primary education - there were a lot of misgivings. But the Ministry took the bull by the horns, started the programme and it is doing well. There is no programme of that magnitude that can go on without facing several problems. I think they have tackled the teething problems well. We should give them encouragement. The encouragement that we should give them is additional funds. Say good words of encouragement to the Minister and his team. That encouragement should trickle to those who are responsible for our schools and the education of our children. That is the foundation of bringing about improvement in our education system. I do not think it pays dividends to complain and condemn what is going on at the moment. It is true we have problems. You cannot have successful development without facing challenges. The challenges are there."
