PROVISION OF QUALITY EDUCATION 1.

Learner's automatic promotion need to be abolished.

This will encourage learners to learn very hard as they know they will not be promoted to the next grade without passing their examinations.

2.

Need for the establishment of sick bays at schools.
Comrade Speaker I am leaving schools to visit hospitals and aware of the limited human resources in terms of health staff but considering the amount of time lost by learners, clinics just for minor problems propose that sick bays be introduced in boarding schools.

This will in my view limit ifnot stop the unnesacary absenteeism by learners from classes.
The government may consider retired nurses who may wish to volunteer their services in return government will only provide them with an allowance for their services.

I&~ o....tJ u.v:1it N1L~ ~ 3 Appropriation Bill It is gratifying to note that the SWAPO Party government is looking ahead not only on the next few years, but also over the next generation and that we are taking major steps to build on a strong foundation we laid since independence.

Government should be commended for avoiding foreseeable problems while wzing new opportunities in global economy.

Many thanks to the visionary leadership of our government.
The budget honorable speaker, honorable members as tabled by the honorable minister, comrade Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila in this house is giving our Nation confidence in facing the future as it reflects people centered and development orientation which the SWAPO Party government has consistently and persistently pursued over the years.

The allocation of the large portion to the social sector is a proof in this regards.
Further more, the maintenance of peace security and the rule of law eg political stability that our country has enjoyed thus far is another testimony.

Therefore we should commend ourselves as a nation and vow to continue keeping Namibia free and peaceful as we know that peace is a very important facilitator of all positive developments.
Comrade Speaker, honorable members the catering of our senior citizens and that of our veterans of our country's liberation struggle is a reminder to all generations of our nations that we should never forget those heroes and heroines who sacrificed their lives in order for us to have bread on our table today.

We are all aware and know~t QU1:freedomand independence did not come on a silver platter but their blood watered our freedom.
With this few words I would like to congratulate Honorable comrade Saara Kuugongelwa -Amadila and all stakeholders involved in the 'pre~ati~~ formulation as well as the organization of the budgetihCfiPprbpriatf~ MTEF for 2013/14 to 2015/16.
