teachers and teachers who were trained in service is not a new phenomenon. There are many of us who pass through the hands of teachers. We were not even at any security risk but we passed through the hands of untrained teachers because of shortage of teachers. The school could simply not marshal enough teachers to cover everybody else so the school hired untrained teachers through the Parents Teachers Association (PTA). I do not want to speak too much; I want to give an opportunity to the others. I just wanted to add my voice as a representative of people ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Motion by Hon. Sossion. I would like to state that as Hon. Sossion mentioned as he moved his Motion, education is the only equalizer and our children across this country from every corner are entitled as a matter of right to quality education.

As has been said, the issues of gender and also experience need to be taken care of. We must balance between the old who are very experienced and the young.

I would like to commend the Committee on Procedure and House Rules, for the job it has done. I think the spirit in these amendments is fairness and equity. Nothing bothers Members more than the fact that some people sit in one committee while others in five or so. If an arrangement has been made where every Member sits in two committees and it is specified that it is one Departmental Committee and one Select Committee, then I think there is nothing more important than what the House has done. You said it correctly that the work of Parliament is ...
