    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will be very quick because I am sure the Minister wants to respond. I am glad that I have found this very important Bill. I want to declare my interest first as I contribute on private schools because we run private schools as a family. Therefore, my issue on the private schools is that even as the Minister speaks about them, they must know that the children’s rights are being violated by a quota system which is totally in disregard of the Constitution. I am happy to see that the Bill says that every child has a right to private education for basic education. I just want to clearly state that even as we are celebrating this, we are violating the rights of children in private schools. On special needs, today is the World Mental Health Day. Again, for children with special needs, I would like the Minister to understand that when it comes to free primary education, it is not free for children with special needs. Again, this is a violation of the rights of children. He must look into this. We are sure that this is a Minister who knows about human rights, those issues will be rectified even as this Bill goes through."
