The National Parent Teacher Association (NPTA) has expressed concern over the conduct of Members of Parliament during Friday’s Standing Finance Committee meeting, saying the exchanges sent the wrong message to young people and undermined efforts to address indiscipline in schools.
In a statement yesterday, the NPTA said it viewed with “deep concern and consternation” the events that unfolded during the committee meeting, which was marked by heated exchanges and shouting among MPs.
The association said the incident overshadowed the committee’s work and detracted from the dignity expected of Parliament.
