asked the Minister for Education:- (a) what is the total number of teachers in both primary and secondary schools who have either died, resigned, absconded from duty or been transferred out of Teso District since the year 2003; (b) whether he is aware that as a result of teachers deaths, resignations, absconding and transfers from Teso, there is an acute shortage of teachers in the district, thus, resulting in poor performance in most schools; and, (c) what deliberate measures the Ministry is taking to improve academic standards in the district.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs has confirmed that there is an acute shortage of teachers. A shortage of 551 teachers at the primary level--- I have around 500 primary schools. That means that each school has a shortage of about five teachers. What deliberate measures is the Ministry taking to ensure that there is proper staffing of teachers, apart from the normal annual replacements?

Munya have talked about the NGOs, who are making a kill out of these vulnerable children. It would be proper if ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in part (c) of the Question, the hon. Member asked what measures the Assistant Minister is taking to stabilise education management in the district. I think she has tried. In Teso, for instance, for the last five years I have been a Member of Parliament, we have had five DEOs. We have been unable to stabilize because of that. We have complained to the Ministry and the Provincial Director of Education (PDE), but corrective measures have not been taken. What policy do you have with regard to the transfer of DEOs in the districts? It would be ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since the Assistant Minister has said that he is going to gazette the dispensaries by the end of August, 2007, and since most of the Members of Parliament have not been involved in this process, could he consider calling a meeting or tabling the list of names of dispensaries before they are gazetted? This is because it will be late for some of us to include names of dispensaries in our areas if he went ahead to gazette the dispensaries mentioned by hon. Wambora without considering other areas. Could he be generous enough to give ...
