    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion which is long overdue. I want to congratulate the hon. Member for Rarieda, Eng. Gumbo, for bringing this Motion which is trying to create a balance so that there is fair treatment of all the youngsters in the country, that is, both girls and boys. This is a basic need. When we talk about a basic need to a human being, this is one of the most important aspects. I am happy that the new Constitution is trying to address most of the problems that we had before. The only thing that I am worried about is that I hear hon. Members saying that the new Constitution will address this issue but unless we ourselves take the initiative to implement what is stipulated in the Constitution, which is our guide, that will not happen. In fact, the Ministry of Education should be taking care of this. Unfortunately, the Minister and both the Assistant Ministers are not here. We were in a meeting yesterday where the Minister for Education was sort of defiant in implementing what this House has passed as a Motion. So, I am just wondering what will happen to this now that he is not here and also his two Assistant Ministers are not here."
