• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We are aware that enrolment has increased many times since 2003. However, the question we are asking is about quality. In fact, this House should not even bother itself advising the Government on the amount of money it should allocate per child. It is the duty of the Government to meet its constitutional obligation to provide free and compulsory quality basic education to every single child. How the Government gets the money and from where, it is for it to determine. This is because it has a constitutional obligation. view
