    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Chair of the Committee for his response, I still think that this is a very grave matter. It is a grave matter because it affects the lives of people. It affects the future of young graduates who have undertaken courses believing that after they secure their diploma certificates, they will also secure employment with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). Could the Chairman of the Committee and the Cabinet Secretary for Education admit that there has been failure on the part of the Ministry of Education particularly because it is this Ministry that is charged with the responsibility of setting the policy, regulating and coordinating the activities of institutions offering the diploma courses? They do this through the Commission on Higher Education. In carrying out these activities to regulate the education sector, they in particular look at the courses offered by various institutions. They should be looking at the quality of education being offered by these institutions. Can we agree that there has been definite failure on the part of the Ministry of Education to undertake these basic assignments charged to them? Owing to that failure, colleges have admitted students and offered courses which are useless to students. Could he admit that the Ministry of Education and in particular the Commission for Higher Education, which has the responsibility to ensure that these courses are not offered in the universities, has failed to do so? Does he agree?"
