"content": "Another issue is that when those children walk, any trenches or holes and the leaves must be taken care of. You can call it a small hospital, but they must take extra care because it is important for their lives. That is the formative stage that they need to acquaint themselves with the environment. If the environment is foul, they will go the foul way. If the environment is conducive, they will go the conducive way. Therefore, we have a moral responsibility of ensuring that the environment is right. That is why I take ECDE as an important stage in the lifespan of a person because that is the stage when everything is done. If it is done wrongly, it is wrong input, and therefore, you will have wrong output. Therefore, we should be careful. From my perspective as a professional, I think it is an area that we need to see how resources can be channeled. When we ask for 10 per cent of the budget of the county governments to be devoted to the ECDEs, we are simply saying that, that is the only function, which has been devolved in education. Therefore, it must be highlighted and given emphasis. The budgets must be clear. In fact, they should be ring-fenced, so that we ensure that, that development is not taken care of properly."
