It is, in his estimation, a measure that will solve the worry and unacceptable practice he has about students who cannot read or write, still given many elective subjects to do in school. He believes that instead, such students should be made to focus on literacy and writing skills courses more and for which reason this intervention is coming up now. He stressed, "Why is that student who cannot read being offered additional courses?” he quizzed, adding that "There will be interventions for those who cannot read or cannot write.
