    "content": "achieved. There is a lot that needs to be done so that the members of the public will be in a position to appreciate the police service. Mr. Speaker Sir, deployment of heavy security does not cure examination cheating at all. That is the reason you will find that even during this time when security is deployed, we still have cases where the CS for Education keeps on reporting very huge numbers of cheating. The corrupt cartels who were found destroying the economy of this state are the same people who, by extension, wreck the education system. We also need to tell our children that even when they fail in the examinations, it does not mean that one has failed in life. Most of the leading entrepreneurs in the world and rich billionaires are people who did not even go beyond the university. Some of them are Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, Bill Gates, and so on, and so forth. Therefore, it does not mean that failing examinations is the end of life; they can try it and revisit. Some are even professors, like Prof. Mazrui. They are known to not have done very well in their “O” levels, but look what later came out of such a doyen. He became an intellectual, and there are many of that caliber. It is high time that our students are taught that failure in examinations is not the end of the world. What matters is moral decadence. As I finalize, it is better to have your child with a C plus, but they have good morals rather than have a child with an A plus, but is a person who takes drugs day-in, day-out, giving their parents problems. Mr. Speaker Sir, I beg to support this Statement."
