Temporary Deputy Speaker for according me this opportunity to contribute. I have points about the Sessional Paper on taking a study about where we have come from with our education systems since Independence. We started with the 7-6-3 System, which acknowledged that there is failure when we do not have technical schools. We used to have technical colleges which are now being re-addressed through the re-introduction of technical training institutes. What is important in an education arena is to inculcate into our students and citizenship skills, knowledge and attitudes towards education. It is a life-long journey. It does not end at certification. One can be educated in terms of acquisition of wisdom and skills to make one a better citizen, so that one can continually contribute towards the betterment of this great nation."}
