I was saddened to discover, when I tabled an Adjournment matter before Christmas, that there was no roll-out plan to teach Chinese next September. I made the discovery when I listened to the response given by the Minister that day. I refer to the teaching of Chinese in terms of the reform of the junior certificate examination and the new programmes. We must have teachers. The Minister must show how we will bridge the gap and provide training to our teachers so that they can teach the subject. I have one or two more questions and thank the Acting Chairman for her indulgence.
