    "content": "Let me also say on the Floor of this House that there is need to relook the policy of supplying textbooks to schools in this country. There are some textbooks supplied to schools, but they are very irrelevant. They are not being used by teachers and are gathering dust on shelves. For example, some books used in special needs for teaching learners with disabilities, especially the deaf, are very irrelevant. The teachers are not using them because they are very irrelevant and not helping in literacy. It is sad such books are still being supplied to those schools. This is an issue that needs thorough interrogation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also need to look at the content of the books that are being supplied to schools. I commend publishers who do a commendable job of publishing books that are relevant to students. However, there are some books with errors in schools that are not helping our children. I am sure the Committee on Education will get to the bottom of the matter and ensure they are giving our students quality education. We want to pass the right baton to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
