    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement by my Senator, Sen. Dullo. I would like to bring the attention of this House to Article 27 of the Constitution which speaks to the equality and freedom from discrimination. It states that:- “Every person is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law” Therefore, the Ministry of Education should ensure that our children have equal opportunity before the law. Is a mean grade of D+ a basis for the Ministry to deny our children the right to education? It is sad to see that institutions of Government that are supposed to uphold the rule of law and implement the Constitution are using flimsy excuses to exclude our students and children to further their education. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many of my colleagues have spoken about the policies at the Ministry of Education. What I see at the Ministry of Education are not policies; there are emotional reactions. Reactive emotions do not constitute policies. This is because policies should ideally respond to the needs of the citizens. However, one day, we are told that each child will be given a laptop and the next day, it is no longer working and 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."
