    "content": "In supporting this Motion, I suggest we need to put in place regulations which will compel such principals of schools to provide students with their certificates, or provide a letter of affirmation that a student, indeed, studied in their school. They can then forward such a letter to the next institution, for example, a tertiary institution. As a representative of young people, each day I receive complaints and requests from young people that their certificates are held back by certain institutions simply because they have not completed the payment of school fees. We should also provide a regulation that will ensure quality education and quality infrastructure in those institutions so that, when we are training those young men, they should feel that they are pursuing a course that will benefit them in the society. There are many courses that have already been introduced in universities and that are not beneficial to the young people. The courses are said not to fit the job market. To cure that problem, we need to incorporate the private sector when we are redesigning the curriculum of those tertiary institutions so that industries can directly employ the youth who graduate from those institutions."
