    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. Education is the single-most important agent of social mobility. It is actually the only social equalizer in the society. Therefore, this Bill has come at a most appropriate time. Clause 7 of this Bill strengthens the role of sponsors in our education system. I support this and it is very important to empower them. Sponsors, particularly the religious-based sponsors, have done a very good job. However, the definition of “sponsor”, which includes the possession of land, needs to be looked at and reviewed because that can bring clashes in some places. I know that there are schools that have sponsors, but the land was contributed by the community. In my view, we should not have many classifications for schools. We should have private schools and public schools. To a larger extent, schools that have sponsors are performing and operating more like public schools and should be entitled to all the benefits that public schools get."
