"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, mine is brief and I am going to speak as a clinician. Usually when you are presented with a patient who is unwell, you look for the cause. You might give a little pain killer to relief the symptom. Now this issue of tuition is only a symptom. Let us look at the cause and we know the causes. The cause is underpayment of teachers and understaffing. That is the cause! Unless we treat that problem, I am sorry, this tuition is going to go underground; it is going to be done at the teachers’ homes. I assure you that. Because of understaffing, these children are not getting education. The Executive prescribed free primary education; they did not prescribe free primary attendance as is happening now and unless we treat the cause, let us not meddle around with the symptoms only."
