    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 47 (1) to make a Statement on appointment of Sen. (Dr.) Gertrude Musuruve Inimah as the Co-chairperson of the International Parliamentary Network for Education (IPNE). Madam Deputy Speaker, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Gertrude Musuruve for this appointment to the IPNE. The International Parliamentary Network for Education seeks to realize the call for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) number four. In 2015, the International Community committed to include a call on education, SDG number four among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030 and commitment was to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Madam Deputy Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve’s appointment comes at an opportune time when we are all grappling with the effects of COVID-19. Education of all children in Kenya and worldwide has been adversely affected with the advent of COVID- 19. Even though this is the case for every child in the education sector, children with disabilities and other marginalized communities have been most hit by this virus. IPNE seeks to ensure that the needs of the child that are furthest are met. Madam Deputy Speaker, although education is meant to be a socio-economic equalizer for all children, with time, the academic achievement of children with disabilities and the marginalized have been moved many uncountable steps backward during this COVID-19 period. The case of Kenya with regard to recreation in education for children with disability and marginalized children, is indeed, the case for other African countries. Madam Deputy Speaker, we are ten years away from 2030 and the promised commitment to secure education for all children by the year 2020 is at great risk, nationally and internationally. The International Parliamentary Network on Education (IPNE) support for collective action and advocacy by parliamentarians working together on education reforms will help in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) number four. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve is an active Member of the Standing Committee on Education. Her commitment on issues of learners with disabilities and the marginalized The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
