    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to support the adoption of this Report but with a little pinch of salt. The operations of TSC and the Ministry of Education have a little disconnect, especially on the management of the schools. It is good that we now have a full Commission that will interface with the Ministry of Education to make sure that the administration and management of schools is streamlined; and that, the principals and headmasters have clear responsibilities. I want to appreciate that with these appointments, though coming a little late, are there now. They need to move very fast and solve the impasse that has created a lot of confusion in institutions. That said and done, I wish to emphasize the need for the Commission to think outside the box. The deficit we have of teachers in this country is alarming and is creating a huge burden on parents, especially in marginalized areas. The Commission’s first initiative should be to employ enough teachers for all institutions. We do not have teachers and the burden of employing unqualified teachers remains the option for school management committees. That is not very good for us. I would like to observe that our Constitution, having provided for equitable distribution of resources and sharing of opportunities like appointments of Commissioners to institutions like this, need to consider that every region is represented equitably. That is because we could have cases where people run meetings in mother tongue. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
