    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues as well in congratulating the students who have come to visit us in the Senate. We appreciate students who come here so that we can communicate with them. We are aware that the Ministry of Education is continuously making decisions that will affect the students. We urge the students, especially, when they are in the House here to consider some of those measures that the Ministry is taking in order to ensure that they have a good learning environment. I am sure the Cabinet Secretary for Education will make pronouncements very soon regarding the use of mobile phones in schools. We ask the students to consider this passionately and seriously. They should not make this a very big issue that will cause conflict in schools, and probably make it difficult to manage schools. A mobile phone is a gadget that we can manage very easily. It can be very useful to us. However, we must impart and suggest some ways in which this gadget can be used in school in agreement with the students. This gadget can either be available to be used in schools with some regulations or be removed completely from the school environment. When this decision is made, we should not fight over it. We should fight over the loss of infrastructure of institutions of learning. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge the students to participate in this process. It is in their interest. We are setting the school environment conducive for learning. They should use this environment as such without any interruption from issues that we can discuss and agree on. With those remarks, I congratulate the students and wish them well."
