    "content": "Recently, we yielded to a demand by the teachers to pay them more. We are now in a bid to pass a Bill on the management of education. I would like to use this opportunity to say that the teachers must also appreciate that they have been listened to and, therefore, take their work seriously. I am aware a couple of them would want to indulge in activities that militate against the education of our children. We must reject this and condemn it in the highest language possible. My other concern is the issue of the graduates of Standard Eight. It concerns me because not all of them are absorbed into secondary schools. Thereafter, there is no other activity that is planned for them to be economically useful to themselves, their families and the nation at large. As we pass this Bill, the Minister needs to think seriously about what we should do with our children after Standard Eight. I am not talking about Form Four, but I am more concerned with these very delicate children who do not go beyond Standard Eight."
