• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Members should know that yesterday we passed a proposal by the Budget Committee and we are yet to pass the Finance Bill. I said this earlier on. The Finance Bill will be final if we can incorporate those proposals. If I am wrong, please, let me know. Let the hon. Member read Item No.3 in the letter by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance Permanent Secretary and he will understand it. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the 20 per cent increment was a negotiated increment in 2009 and it does not include the contract teachers. As regards the ECD teachers, if the hon. Member reads Item No.2 in the letter from the Permanent Secretary, he will find that it includes that aspect but we did not get the money from the Treasury. What does the hon. Member expect the Minister to do if money does not come from the Treasury? We hope that what was recommended by the Budget Committee will carry the day and we shall employ all the teachers the ... view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if those teachers are employed permanently, they will sign a new contract on the day they are employed on permanent and pensionable terms. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, in his Budget Speech, talked about it. It was one of the projects at the time when the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance rolled out the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP). It is there in the HANSARD! It is not the creation of the Ministry of Education. When the Ministry of Education has money to employ, it employs teachers the normal way; that is on permanent and pensionable terms! But this was done through the ESP. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, our mission in the Ministry is to deliver good quality education, equitably. It is the responsibility of the whole Government, including Parliament, to allocate the Ministry of Education money to hire the teachers. We shall do that today if we are allocated the money. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I repeated it and I shall repeat it. The House passed the report yesterday. We, in the Ministry, are very happy about it because we are getting the support of this House. However, we are yet to pass the Finance Bill. The Finance Bill will give us money. It is the Finance Bill that will approve everything for us. The Budget process is not even complete yet. view
• 28 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to inform the hon. Member that the Ministry has never avoided answering this Question. There was a time when we were supposed to answer it, but the hon. Member was away. The second time we did not address the Question because there was some other business of the House. Parliament then went on recess and we are now dealing with it today. The Minister for Education appreciates the support given to him by Members of Parliament. I remember the PS in the Ministry of Education wrote to the Chair of the Committee ... view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg the indulgence of the House to give me more time to be able to bring an answer to this Question. I will bring the answer on Wednesday next week because so far, I do not have a good answer. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I am asking for more time. We all know that the Budget process is also not complete and this Question is very technical. The information needed here is very technical and has to be very exact and precise. view
• 27 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Wednesday next week in the morning. view
