    "content": "THAT, AWARE THAT, Constitution of Kenya (Article 53) affirms that children have basic rights, including the right to education, nutrition, shelter, health care and parental care, provisions that are aligned with those cited in both the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Africa Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, to which Kenya is a signatory; CONCERNED THAT, the current status of day care facilities in the Country are not child friendly or habitable and there is need to bridge this gap to capture the play group class in the new 2-6-3-3-3 curriculum that is replacing the 32 year old 8-4-4 system; ACKNOWLEDGING THAT, most working parents lack quality Day care facilities, as the playgroup is a safe place for them to take their children while they are at work; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate urges that the Council of Governors in conjunction with the Ministry of Education ensure that: a) Counties allocate at least 10 percent of their budget on Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) towards this vulnerable group; and, b) Policy is developed to incorporate the needs of children who are less than three years of age."
