    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I would like to appreciate the mover of this Motion for donating his time to me. As we debate about education for the children who come from poor backgrounds, I also wish to add a leaf that there are students with special needs who are also bright. Sometimes, these needy students are forgotten because in most cases, they are not taken to school. If we can establish this databank even for these children with special needs, they can also benefit from the allocation of bursary so that they can also be taken to school. It is a fundamental right that all children benefit from education. It is a fundamental right that all the children must be given education. I have personally contributed to the education of some of these children and some of them can make it great heights if they are given an opportunity. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should also streamline the Higher Education Loans Board. This is an area where students who have struggled and made it to institutions of higher learning are denied opportunities to get loans. Some of these funds are given to undeserving students. So, if we streamline the manner of allocation of these funds, then the bright students from poor backgrounds can also benefit from this. This Motion has come at the right time. If we can harmonize what the CDF and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology are doing, these children can benefit a lot from these funds. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
