• 13 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of lack of DEOs is a problem all over the country. Even in my constituency, we have only one DEO and one person who is supporting her. So, this is a problem which is affecting the whole country. We are asking the Ministry of State for Public Service and the Treasury to help us, so that we can have enough officers to handle the Ministry of Education across the country. view

Sometime back, there was a Question here relating to the hiring of teachers, that is, the qualifications that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) considers for the hiring of teachers. Then it was ruled that I bring to the House a copy of the policy on the qualifications that the teachers have to meet for them to be hired.

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: The Question be re-done for the reason I am giving. It has covered two Ministries. My Ministry deals with special schools up to post- primary; that is up to secondary schools.
