    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice. I thank Sen. Dullo for coming up with this Statement. The Ministry of Education should be credible and reliable in the policies that they make. They should not come up with a policy today and change it tomorrow. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is painful that more than 3000 students are out of school. Therefore, the Ministry should readmit these students back to the colleges and ensure that they get their certificates. We should implement the issue of affirmative action as the Senate. For example, the case of North Eastern came before the Senate Committee. We saw that it was the most viable way to ensure that affirmative action takes place there. It is painful for a class not to have a teacher. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was a teacher and I know the role that a teacher plays in a school. A teacher guides and gives the learners direction. They also act like parents. So, you can imagine children without a guide or someone to give them directions. Therefore, there is the need for the Senate to interrogate the Ministry of Education and ensure that the Cabinet Secretary comes here to explain this. There are instances where many policies come up but when you go to the ground, you find that they are not working for this nation. Therefore, there is need for the CS to come and accept what Members will tell him. He should know that we mean well. We are concerned about the learners of this country and the North Eastern Region. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of information that came from Ministry regarding the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC). However, when you go to the ground, it is not working. It is working on television and conference rooms but not on the ground. There is need for the CS to come for interrogation for this purpose."
