"content": " Thank you. On the question of universities' technical insolvency, the new funding model was introduced to ensure that they have sufficient funds to turn them around. Based on the simulations that have been done and with proper governance, all our universities in this situation will come out of the doldrums in the next three or four years. That is the programme to ensure that we do not lose our universities. On the question of CUE and KMPDC, we are currently undertaking the amendments of the laws, including the Commission for University Education Act, to ensure that it is harmonised and aligned so that there is no contradiction in the duties and responsibilities of various organisations that deal with various medical institutions or other educational institutions, including engineers. There should be no conflict. We are working on the harmonisation so that CUE is more effective on what it was initially intended to do. The CUE is working with all professional bodies to ensure that whatever issues that conflict with their mandate are aligned. We have a body that is fit for that purpose. On the issue of the lack of sufficient science teachers, we have started working with the Centre for Engineering, Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA) to ensure that a number of teachers are employed. I understood what TSC was saying. For example, they do not label mathematics as a science subject. We are working on that to understand what it means to say one is a science teacher. We are working with TSC to ensure that many students take science courses as admissions are done. We are doing something to encourage more students to apply for science courses. We are also putting in place"

I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary— (a) Provide an update on the status of preparedness by the Ministry to transition Grade 8 learners to Grade 9, which is happening at the end of this year. (b) Provide a report on the number of classrooms that are planned to be constructed and the number of classrooms that have already been constructed in readiness for January 2025. (c) Outline the plans that have been put in place by the Ministry to ensure a seamless transition of learners in Grade 8 to Grade 9. (d) Clarify whether there are adequate teachers to support learners transiting to Grade 9 and indicate whether there are any plans by the Ministry, through the Teachers Service Commission, to absorb enough JSS teachers to ensure a seamless transition across the country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
