“Honorable Speaker and esteemed members of the House, There is Fear and anxiety in the minds of general public due to a pressing issue that affects the future of children and the foundation of our education system. The acute shortage of teachers in our schools and the exploitation of contractual teachers have reached crisis proportions.

Almost all our schools in the state are struggling with a severe shortage of teachers, resulting in a student-teacher ratio that is far more ideal. This has led to a significant decline in the quality of education, leaving our children without necessary guidance and support.

Furthermore the plight of contractual teachers is deplorable. they are overworked, underpaid and denied the benefits and job security that they deserve. This is causing a disruption to the education system.

I urge the Govt to take immediate action to address this issue. We need to fill the vacant teaching posts, regularize the services of contractual teachers and provide them with the necessary resources and support. Our children deserve quality education and our teachers deserve dignity and respect. Let us work together to ensure that our education system is strengthened and our future generations empowered\".

\"Concerns and Anxiety in the minds of the People, especially of Salcete regarding failure of the Government to denotify the Traffic Cell at Colva. Government had given Assurance on the Floor of the House and I believe Chief Minister has also accorded his Approval to Denotify the Traffic Cell at Colva. The Traffic Cell at Colva has turned out to be Nuisance to the Commuters whose main focus is to Harass the Citizens rather than Regulating Traffic. Government should immediately issue necessary Orders to Denotify the Traffic Cell at Colva\"
