Hon Deputy Speaker, hon Minister, the FD is of the view that the Minister and the department, despite the huge disparities in our schools, have improved their performance since the last Budget year, although there are still many challenges that are faced by the Minister and the department.
We support the principle of subsidisation of schools to assist pupils who cannot afford school fees. However, hon Minister, we would like you to investigate the possibility of subsidising the pupils and not the school, because this would allow pupils the freedom to move from one school to another. With these words, the FD supports the Budget Vote. I thank you.
