"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The ratios that we have given were analysed in terms of the severity of the handicap and disability. There is also shortage of teachers. As I indicated earlier, the challenges that we have in the ordinary schools are the same ones we have in special needs schools. We will give attention to employing more teachers for the special needs schools so as to reduce the teacher-learner gap. In terms of the question relating to the teachers’ allowance, this is being handled by the TSC. They handle all the issues relating to teachers in both normal schools and special needs schools. We do not deal with that aspect, but only deal with policy. When issues like these come up, we liaise with the TSC and come up with policies to make their work smoother and more cohesive. In terms of the schools which Hon. Nabii has indicated, lack a good teacher-learner ratio, I do not have the details and data at hand. We will liaise with the TSC to see whether something can be done in that space. I do not have the actual numbers for those particular schools, namely, Lumama Special Unit School, Mukuyu Special Unit School and Marukusi Special School. We will look into it, get the data and work together with the TSC. Since there are 20,000 teachers who will be employed, we will see what to do. The question of 100 per cent transition is what we are working on. As you are aware, we are doing transition right now and we are preparing classrooms to ensure that our students transition seamlessly, so that they can continue with their studies. We are looking into this and have ongoing infrastructure development. The question on walimu wengi bila kupatapromotion, there is a promotion program that is being done by the TSC. I am aware that they have promoted a number of teachers. They normally apply for promotion and they are interviewed. Promotion is done depending on the spaces available and the budget. So, the TSC is handling that aspect. The question on remedial school fees or masomo ya ziada ya kurekebisha, those are unauthorised levies and are not approved by the Ministry. When we know that is happening, action is taken on those teachers. No parent is supposed to pay remedial fees or levies. They are irregular levies that are not authorised by the Ministry. I submit."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Government wants a 100 per cent transition to high schools. You will find that it pays capitation for each student, but the teachers have added a levy of about Ksh6,000, Ksh10,000 or Ksh12,000 to buy the food that the students eat in those schools. They send away the children who do not pay. That money is making students to drop out of school. What are you doing to stop those extra levies that are paid by students? We passed a Motion here and the Ministry informed the Committee on Implementation that no school will be allowed to sell uniforms to students. I have a letter from a school in Bungoma, where the Principal has asked each student to buy uniform from the school at a very exorbitant price."
