    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there is a shortage of Islamic Religious Education teachers in both primary and secondary schools in the country. The Ministry has put the following measures in place to alleviate the national shortage of teachers in general, including Islamic Religious Education:- (i) continue to employ teachers in proportion with the existing teachers shortage as funds become available; (ii) sensitize and encourage the youth on Islamic Religious Education and training opportunities in colleges to ensure adequate teachers are available; (iii) liaise with Islamic Religious Association to sponsor many students in the colleges. (b)There are no scholarships for students in the diploma teachers training colleges. The Islamic Religious Education subject has not been attracting applicants for training as teachers due to subject combination technicalities."
