    "content": "Secondly, we are looking at the new curriculum of education which is supposed to produce a wholesome person. When children go to school, it is not just about them sitting the national examinations. Rather, we should encourage them to participate in co-curricular activities. This law offers motivation that if you participate in co-curricular activities, you could easily get the President‟s Award. We looked at the Bill as a Committee and we noted issues that need to be addressed during the process of implementation. The Bill should clearly give mandate to the board to formulate guidelines for the implementation of this award. I am talking about things like the enrolment process, management of the participants and the evaluation process. The guidelines on implementation should contain a list of eligible activities in each of the four sections, that is, voluntary service, vocational skills, sporting activity and camping activity. We noticed that the Bill does not state the minimum age for each level of the award. With regard to the board, the Bill is silent on the issue of gender, youth and Persons with Disability (PWDs), which are issues that have been addressed in the Constitution. I really have no issue with the qualifications of the members of the board. It is important that the Bill talks about how members of staff are going to be appointed."
