    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the challenge of shortage of teachers in schools is nationwide. However, what is more problematic is a situation as has been raised by Sen.(Prof.) Lonyangapuo where you have one school or schools in particular regions which are overstaffed while others schools in other parts of this country are greatly understaffed. What is the Government doing to ensure that they narrow down the gap to ensure that there is equity? If a school has 1,400 students with an average number of 50 teachers, that should be reflected across the country. What is the Ministry doing in terms of addressing this disparity? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, part of the shortage of teachers as indicated by the Chairperson in his response is the expansion and opening up of new schools. What is the Governments’ policy with regard to opening up of new schools? You will find that, in one school, in a class there are 40 students and in another one, a class has 12 or 13 students. What is the Government’s position with regard to opening of new schools? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
