Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not the tuition that we know in this country where children go back to school outside the dates provided in the school calendar. It is the normal learning. When you talk about tuition in this case, it is the payment of fees to offer education. It is not about taking children back to school during holidays.

What clause is that?

14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly:
Yes, that is why we have said we are not looking at it. We will consider it together with Clause 48. I have seen a lot of variance in that particular clause.
