• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this Statement. I would like to thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this Statement. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: This is a Statement that should be interrogated further. Before I came to Parliament, I was a lecturer. I also had opportunity to teach in secondary schools when I was young. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that contact between the teacher and the leaner is very important. Textbooks are resource materials. However, we cannot wish them away and say that we can do only with the Information Communication and Technology (ICT). view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that textbooks are distributed to schools in a transparent manner. The Ministry of Education should keep its house in order. They must have an inventory of the number of textbooks that are supplied to each school. It is important to keep a database of the number of children in every school in the country. There must be a register showing how many textbooks have been supplied to each school and the number of students who have benefited from this programme. It is the only way we can know if there are any inadequacies. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: When you talk of issues of books, there are schools that do not have books up to now. Let me say without fear, some special schools do not have enough textbooks. They even lack competency books from early childhood or class one to form four. That is something that needs to be addressed because even special learners need to be given textbooks. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Let me also say on the Floor of this House that there is need to relook the policy of supplying textbooks to schools in this country. There are some textbooks supplied to schools, but they are very irrelevant. They are not being used by teachers and are gathering dust on shelves. For example, some books used in special needs for teaching learners with disabilities, especially the deaf, are very irrelevant. The teachers are not using them because they are very irrelevant and not helping in literacy. It is sad such books are still being supplied to those schools. This is ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: the right learners whom we have mentored all the way from early childhood up to secondary school and beyond. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: I commend the Mover of this Bill. It has come at the right time. Given the fact that agriculture plays an important role in this country and almost three-quarters of our constituents back home are farmers, it is important that we see how farmers can be encouraged and supported. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Let me remind and talk about the Maputo Declaration, which says that at least 10 per cent of a Government’s national revenue should go to agriculture. The Declaration came that way because agriculture plays an important role to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of any country and even in the lives of people. You will find that quite a number of people practice agriculture, and in the process, they are able to educate their children. They are also employers contributing to the growth of the economy of this country. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, tea is an important cash crop and it generates revenue for the farmers. There are quite a number of people who plant tea as a cash crop and they need to be encouraged. We should not discourage them. We can encourage them by coming up with appropriate policies that are friendly to the farmer and will make them see that they have value for their work because they play an important role. view
