Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I indicated earlier on, the people of Tinderet and the Departmental Committee on Education and Research condole with the parents of the students in the primary school where the tragedy occurred. The issue at hand is not about talking. It is about implementing the existing laws, regulations and everything that the Government has put in place.

The Committee received a scanty report earlier on the same and, as a Committee, we went through it and decided the Ministry should take back the report and give us a comprehensive report on the same.

Hon. Speaker, as you have directed, this is a very comprehensive Report that responds to the issues regarding the death of this young soul. I will go straight ahead to read the Statement. I also want to put it on record that the Departmental Committee on Education and Research also sought a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education; independent of the TSC because the Board of Management (BoM) is under the Ministry of Education while teachers management is under the TSC.
