    "content": "should look at how solutions are sought, how our students are counselled and how we administer opportunities. Another issue that requires urgent attention is the fear that with the crackdown of loopholes that were used in schools to cheat in exams, those students who are ill-prepared feel scared and the only way out is to make sure that nobody sits for exams. We should approach these issues in a very sober way. We should also address enmity where teachers are not working as teams but as competitors. A lot of undermining within the school system contributes to unrest in schools and therefore, we need to be careful on how long head teachers stay in a school before they become institutions unto themselves and everybody begins to misbehave. They cannot misbehave out of fear. There is a difference between peace that comes out of respect and that that comes out of fear. We should address fear in our institutions so that we have peace because of respect and not because of fear. When there is fear, people have a way of reacting. People that might be propagating this kind of behaviour might be very far and because they want to disturb schools, they can instigate and incite students to burn schools. I have two proposals. Teachers should discuss with students some of the issues they are against as opposed to punishing them. There is no amount of punishment that can deter somebody who is already frustrated. We need to give them an ear and address their issues. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
