    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, immediately after that, he took the initiative to encourage another Ministry to invest in a road, the first road to be built in Mfangano Island, which is bigger than the biggest island in Seychelles - Mahe, in terms of population and geographical size. Having said so, I would like to encourage the Ministry to improve its response to the wonderful idea of the Free Primary Education Programme. I entirely, agree with hon. Nyachae that a programme of this magnitude has to have some teething problems. However, we are now in the fourth year since the marvellous idea was launched. The low starting level of pupils in primary schools must be addressed. In my district, we had a 46 per cent increase in enrolment. In another four years, those pupils will be in Standard Eight. I know that a number of my colleagues have invested in day secondary schools through the CDF. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you have mentioned in your contribution, unless we improve the teacher-pupil ratio, we will have beautiful schools, free primary education, but the end product will not be useful. The quality of the students will determine whether they can be employed or be of value to the society."
