    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice to what most hon. Members have said. I think we are very lucky that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is now recognized by the Constitution and now it will have to play the independent role that we require for the management of teachers affairs in this country the way it should be. From the start, the TSC must take into consideration certain issues that have created a lot of problems currently and in the past. One of them is the way they have been handling teachers. We know that in all Government Ministries, when somebody retires or is about to retire, his retirement must be considered but when you come to the TSC, many teachers who retired five years ago have not been given their retirement benefits up to now. This is the problem that ends up endangering the lives of these teachers. I am very sure that the newly constituted TSC will consider that, so that when teachers retire, they have a programme for retirement. They should be given adequate notice the way it is done and should be followed with the money being given on time."
