We have come from a very serious season of heavy rains and now the COVID-19 pandemic. Should the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology decide that they want to have schools resume, most of us will be in a very awkward situation because infrastructure in most schools is very wanting. I once again request the Chair of the Committee to facilitate disbursement of the funds to the constituencies so that the necessary renovations and any pending activities can be done to accommodate any decisions that may come from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology concerning re-opening of schools during ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Mine is just to react to the Report that has been presented. I want to thank the Chairperson for giving us that brief Report. Considering what has been in the public domain regarding police officers, we seem to be dealing with an institution that has already decided on what to do and how to do it.

The police are said to have committed ...

I want to begin with Dr. Jwan who has been in the Ministry of Education for some time. He was involved in the development of the Competency Based Curriculum.

He also understands the main pathways that will follow after the students have finished basic education, including the pathway way to technical sector. He has good knowledge about the needs of this country, in ...

I want to look at the next nominee. He is a new blend in terms of the persons who have been leading the State Department for University Education and Research for the two years that I have been around. As a Committee, we are concerned. The Ministry has been experiencing a lot of change in the top leadership. The turnover rate of the CS has been quite significant. We have now the third CS in two years. We also have the State Departments’ Principal Secretaries who have changed during this period. We have Mr. Nabukwesi who is an educationist. However, ...
