• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. What the Hon. Senator has said is true. We have two major problems that we are trying to overcome. One was registration of schools. Quite a number of primary and even secondary schools had not been registered. Therefore, they had not been captured in the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS). view
• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: When they were not captured in NEMIS, it meant that they were unable to benefit from capitation. What have we done as a Ministry?

• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, without going into the merits and demerits of delocalization, the Senator is aware that ever since this administration came into being, we put a lot of emphasis on the fact that we cannot be able to have this policy of delocalization. We have on the contrary what we call nationalization. Ever since the time we started this, a lot of progress has been achieved. Quite substantial progress has actually been done in this particular aspect if I can be able to give figures. One, the policy has been reversed unlike the way it was before because ... view
