• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Minister for giving me a very comprehensive answer to this Question.

With the introduction of FPE and Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE), we have seen an enormous increase in the enrolment of children in both primary and secondary schools.
