    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government does not guarantee job entry at the end of training of any profession. What the Government guarantees is a requisite, tacit and candid professional training like the P1 teachers. Moreover, it is not only the Government that trains teachers. There are other private institutions that train teachers at a much higher cost than the Government. With regard to what we can do to alleviate the suffering of some of the teachers who are out there after completing their professional training, we have already employed, through the Economic Stimulus Package (ESP), between 19,000 and 20,000 teachers. We intend to improve on this figure next year so that the shortage which stood at 66,000 teachers in both secondary and primary schools stands at 48,000. Hopefully, in the next financial year, we should be able to cascade this downwards to a manageable level and by 2012, we will be at a zero-rated level in terms of the provision of teachers to our institutions. It is my expectation that some of the teachers out there will be comfortably absorbed in their teaching profession."
