The section proposes that the Commission Secretary of Higher Education be a member of Council for Legal Education. You know very well that the Commission Secretary is the regulator of the higher education system. If he sits again as a member of the Council of Legal Education, it will be difficult for him to act at a higher level as a regulator. Therefore, I propose that we delete his membership from that Commission.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Lessonet, the CDF Committee and all those who have participated in the preparation of this Bill.

You will also realise that Clause 8 proposes to empower the CS, in consultations with the CS, National Treasury, to look for funds. On this one, I am looking at alternative education especially in slums and in areas where the Government cannot provide education. You will realize that in slum areas, there are so many providers of education like bridge schools. For us to move ahead, let us provide certain funds so that children who cannot afford to pay for fees are assisted. They can go to school and pay for their needs like any other child in public schools.

There is also the need to develop and assist the sponsor. We are agreeing that the sponsor plays a key role, but we have also put it very clearly that the sponsor needs to be protected so that the land and property in a particular institution is registered. That is what Clause 21 seeks to provide. All the immovable property; land and buildings need to be registered.
