The Minister for Economy and Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed‑Khaiyum says that it all comes down to the environment a child is brought up in.

Sayed-Khaiyum says that there is no law that can stop this from happening.

He says there are some good children who actually appreciate that fact that they have been given free education and some may not.

Sayed-Khaiyum says new ways have to be developed and one of the things that they are pushing for is having more counsellors in schools.
