    "content": "for chaplains to interact and mingle with students. You understand the competition among schools that has led to schools wanting students to read from morning until evening. Even going for games is unheard of. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there should be time for chaplains to interact with students so that they can know what they are going through. It is actually a chaplain who can pass information to the teaching fraternity on what students need. There are students who could be in need of something but it is very hard for teachers to know this. However, for a chaplain whose duty and responsibility is to ensure that the wellbeing of students is catered for, he or she will deliver that message in the right way. After that ways of solving the problems would be found. I think a conducive environment ought to be created in order for chaplains to work well. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another thing I am worried about is the different faiths in schools. I hope you know that a student selects a school not because of the religion he or she prescribes to. A student is admitted to a school to learn and achieve what he or she wants in future. So, a chaplain should not be extreme. There should be moderation so that they bring out the values we are talking about so that there is harmony and understanding in schools. So, we need chaplains who will respect and be sensitive to other people’s views, values and beliefs. If this is maintained, there will be order, understanding and good environment for students to learn and teachers to do their work."
