    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, those are the bad habits of the West, which we have no time for. I have been a parent many times over and a very proud one at that. I believe that just like you do not outsource the art of making children, you cannot outsource parenting. As for the teacher to child ratio, it has been proved that the lower the grade, the more contact hours are needed between the teacher and the child. At the university level, one can learn on their own and pass exams. We need to improve on the contact hours between the teacher and the child. I have noticed that this Bill allows for the provision of teacher to child ratio in the regulations. It is my view that in an ECDE centre, the teacher to child ratio should never be more than 20 because every child has to be instructed almost on their own. There is also the requirement that there should be no exam when children are being recruited. This reminds me of a very good instance. I request you to protect me by giving me back the minute that you took while making your comment, Hon. Chair."
