    "content": "The Government of Kenya has never told Kenyans why they moved away from the 8-4-4 system of education to the new mongrel system that does not match with the East African Community (EAC) systems. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one would have thought that when we decided to move away from the 8-4-4 system, which was functioning quite well, we could have aligned our education system with the East African region, where Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi, with whom we share common heritage and many interests, including the EAC, who are running the 7-4-2-3 system of education. Instead, we have moved to a system that is neither 8-4-4 nor compatible with the East African region, isolating ourselves further. Can the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education clarify why there was a need to move away from the 8-4-4 system in the first place? Nobody had complained. The parents of this country had accepted it, and it was working. Is it because somebody in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology wanted to appear to be reforming something or what was the problem? Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
