    "content": "Thank you Madam Chair. First, I commend Sen. Musila for this new amendment. I know from the Committee of Education that there has been a lot of discussion in trying to streamline and solve the issuance of examination certificates through the district education office. The issue of the result slips has also caused a lot of problems. Students usually wait for a long time before they get their examination certificates. With this amendment, it will be possible for them to collect their certificates quickly and they will be doing this from a central point which is their respective examination centres. From there, they can be scrutinized to ensure that they are the exact owners. The amendment gives the provision for that scrutiny and a time limit of two months from the release of the certificates. The amendment moved away from the District Education Officer who would be deemed far removed from the examination centres and probably keeping the control of the issuance of the certificates within the centres. With this, the issuance will be expedited without the headteachers holding on to them because of fee issues. Thank you."
