    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice on what has been said by my colleagues. Many parents are undergoing a lot of problems at the moment in various parts of this country, especially parents taking their children to Form One. Most of them who have reported to their respective schools without enough funds, especially in national schools are turned back to go and look for more. Some of them are not even in a position to feed themselves, but have to go back home with their children. This morning, several parents called me and they were in tears wondering what they are going to do. They are not able to pay school fees demanded for by the various head teachers. We are just wondering why the directives and the circulars that were sent out by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology were not implemented. The head teachers do not feel for the parents who are taking their children back to their homes. The children who go back home feel demoralised at the end of the day. When they go back to their schools, they cannot perform well because they have been sent back. How do they feel before their colleagues in schools? That is a practice that the Ministry of Education, Research and Technology - given that the CS is here - should stop.
