• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I am making is that while we all sympathize with the situation of the teachers on contract and we all see the need for employing more teachers, resorting to a strike and denying the children their rights is not going to solve the situation.
