    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the provision of quality and relevant education and training is critical in equipping Kenyans with skills necessary for industrialization. For this reason, the Government will focus on improving and expanding Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutes in order to equip the youth with the relevant skills necessary for industrialisation. For this reason, we have allocated Kshs16.0 billion for technical institutions for recruitment of additional 2,000 technical training instructors, capitation grants, 15 new technical training institutes, curriculum development assessment and certification center and Technical Vocational Training Authority; Kshs91.1 billion to support university education and Kshs9.6 billion to Higher Education Loans Board. Hon. Speaker, to further expand access to quality basic education, we implemented the 100 percent transition policy in January this year. To sustain this, I have allocated Kshs59.4 billion for Free Day Secondary Education Programme. In addition, I have allocated Kshs13.4 billion to Free Primary Education Programme; Kshs4.0 billion for examinations fee waiver for all class eight and form four candidates and Kshs2.0 billion for the School Feeding Programme. Further, to increase the teacher to student ratio, I have set aside Kshs5.0 billion for the recruitment of additional teachers."
