    "content": "One of the things that the Ministry and the Government has done well is the 100 per cent transition. As we move on, we will need more classes in secondary schools to accommodate Grades Seven to Nine. The question is whether the Ministry is prepared. That is why, as we prepare the next Budget, we should be alive to the fact that the education sector needs a lot of money. As classes in primary schools reduce, those in secondary schools increase. The same applies to the teaching service. We have a serious shortage of teachers in this country. The Government has put aside some resources and there has been talk of hiring intern teachers. I want to agree with Hon. Sossion and the unionists who are here. We asked the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the unions to have intern teachers to fill the gap of the 90,000 teachers for the sake of our children and we are in agreement, as the Committee on Education and Research."
