    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak to this very important Motion. I express my gratitude to my brother, hon. Gumbo, for giving me these two minutes. It is very important for me to say that I support this Motion. Ranking is very important in this country. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education has failed this country by purporting to set aside the requirement for ranking in our schools. Anybody who has lived in this country and who lives in this world knows that there is a hierarchy of ranking in everything. In human life and even in the animal kingdom there is ranking. You will find that animals that probably have deficiencies in one way or another are denied some rights in the animal kingdom. So, ranking in our schools goes to the very foundation of our education system. It will enable our children to know that they need to compete, otherwise we are going to have children and a population in this country that will not understand what competition is about. If we do not have competition in this country, we might as well forget about a nation and stop telling people that we need to improve ourselves. So, I urge the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to go back to ranking our children in the schools. I support this Motion."
