    "content": "many cases have had no training at all. It is time that we put management into these schools as well. Most teachers at primary level do not have any management skills at all and, therefore, putting them into this is asking them to do what they are not good at and, therefore, we cannot blame them if we do not see good results with the monies we have. We know that when the FPE fund started, there was a lot of graft that went right down from the headquarters to the schools themselves. That is why we need people who are trained in financial management. At the same time we have had a huge shortage of teachers and so if we confine some teachers to management, we will be eating into the numbers that would be useful for the actual work of teaching our children. We need to free our teachers and give them more time to teach and, therefore, we need to employ these bursars. When we employ them we must look at their appropriate skills and as other Members have said, this is a burden that should not be put to the schools but it should go directly to the national Government. It is a national investment."
