Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute. I stand to support this Vote.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank, once again, the Ministry of Education because, recently, their officials visited my area to see why that area is performing so poorly. I want to say that, that was a worthy exercise that should be extended to other parts of the country. Learn first-hand what is happening in those areas. Learn first-hand why our children are doing so badly. There are many reasons that cause our children to do badly. One of the reasons is because most of our schools do not have
