    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Sessional Papers are very important Papers in many jurisdictions that inform legislation. I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and the Ministry of Education for coming up with a Sessional Paper. This has been done from an empirical study perspective. It says that the shoe-wearer knows where it pinches. These are the people in the profession. After they put it into practice, they realise where the gaps are. That is why sessional papers worldwide are respected. Hon. Melly has done well as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. In practice, sessional papers are supposed to be debated before implementation. This Sessional Paper is very good with its key aspect being the CBC. It is the best way to go. It is the best practice, but it has come when it has already been implemented. It is supposed to be the other way round. I do not know where the Committee was. Maybe they had tabled it, but the House Business Committee had not scheduled it for debate on the Floor of the House. That is what I am asking. It is good to look into the things my colleagues have been complaining about. It is important that when we debate a matter like this one, the relevant committee take notes, so that when it comes to reply, they respond to the concerns of the Members. These are the best practices worldwide."
