Deputy Speaker, I beg to give a Notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the Government has been undertaking recruitment and deployment of teachers countrywide in a bid to address the current insufficient student-teacher ratio; disturbed by the fact that most of the new teachers are either fresh graduates and teachers who qualified a few years ago; deeply concerned that this development is not fair to teachers who studied, qualified and got accredited much earlier; further aware that this recruitment policy is discriminative against older yet jobless teachers, this House urges the Government to institute a policy of hiring teachers who qualified first before undertaking the recruitment of recently qualified teacher. Thank you."}
