    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy, Speaker, today, in the Ministry, we also received a Report from the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) on the ethnicity audit that was done in our universities. I want to confirm to the nation that we are ready, as a Ministry, to implement the recommendations that have been given. In fact, we received it with the senior members of the Ministry and the truth is whatever appeared in the Press. There seems to be some ethnic imbalance in our education sector. It is true and we are going to pursue that. In fact, this break gives us another opportunity to have a session between the Commission, chancellors, vice-chancellors and chairs of council. I would also like to appeal to hon. Members that even as we expand our higher education docket, start our new colleges and campuses, it is very important that all of us implement them in our minds; that we should start balancing the ethnic groups in the institutions. That is because, sometimes, it is not just the institutions. We should also push for the same as leaders. We need to work with those people so that we can implement."
