Washiriki hao walisema kuwa serikali haina nia ya dhati ya kuwapatia wenye ulemavu wa kusikia haki yao ya msingi ya kuwapatia taarifa kutokana na kuwa wataalam wa lugha ya alama wapo; taasisi zake zinazo fedha za kuweza kuwaajiri lakini hawafanyi hivyo, tatizo ni nini? walihoji.

Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania.

Washiriki hao walipendekeza kuwa katika mtaala wa elimu liwepo somo la Afya ya Uzazi kwa wanafunzi wa kuanzia angalau darasa la tano na kuendelea hadi katika vyuo ili kuifanya jamii ipate uelewa wa kutosha kuhusiana na suala la uzazi wa mpango na manufaa yake katika jamii na taifa.

Ili kuepuka suala la ndoa za utotoni ambalo licha ya kuwa sasa linapigwa vita na watu mbalimbali huku sheria ikitoa mwanya wa uwepo wa ndoa hizo; washiriki hao walipendekeza muda wa kufunga ndoa uwe angalau miaka 21 muda mambao kwa mtoto wa kike atakuwa angalau amehitimu elimu ya sekondari. 

Majadiliano hayo pia yaliambatana na maswali na majibu kutoka pande zote zilizoshiriki (Wawezeshaji na wanafunzi) ambapo kila upande ulionesha umahiri mkubwa katika kuuliza na kujibu maswali hayo. Katika mjadala huo maswali kuhusiana na sheria ya makosa ya kujamiiana 1999 na maswali yahusianayo na Afya ya uzazi yaliulizwa kwa wingi hali iliyoufanya mjadala huo kutoa nafasi kwa idadi kubwa ya washiriki kuchangia.

Washiriki waliomba serikali, taasisi mbalimbali na asasi zisizo za kiserikali kuwezesha kufanyika kwa mijadala ya aina hiyo mara kwa mara ili kukuza uelewa wa wanafunzi na Club za marafiki wa Elimu ili elimu hiyo iyafikie makundi mbalimbali ya jamii kwa haraka.

Akifunga mjadala huo Meneja wa Miradi kutoka sherika la CARE International Bw. David Lyimo aliwataka washiriki kuimarisha Club zao na kuongea bidii katika masomo ili kuwa mfano katika jamii ndani na nje ya shule kwa kufanya vyema kila wakati katika masomo yao pamoja na tabia zao kwa ujumla.
