"content": "required impact. If each and every school has somebody already trained in counselling and who can mentor those children very well, I think it will minimise that problem. I would even propose that instead of getting a chaplain to be in school just for counselling or a bit of work only, they could also be teachers. They may be Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers or any other teacher of any other subject, but already endowed with the knowledge of trying to counsel those young people so that we can mould them to be future leaders. If we leave them, maybe, instead of leaving school as people of substance to come and see to it that they continue building this nation, they will come out as “cabbages”. They have nothing to do. I had an incident where a parent released a child to go to school. Instead of going to school, the child ended up in Eastleigh where he was given some funny things. When the parent was called to pick the boy, he was a zombie. He could not even know where he was. Today, the boy is being rehabilitated and treated. If there was somebody who could have monitored and noticed what the boy was going through, that life could have been changed. That student could be somebody who is ready to become a person of substance in this country. The Motion is right, timely and I support it."
