    "content": "PTA must have a say within ECDE centres, we finally resolved and the Senate’s position was upheld. Sen. Omogeni had already gone through this, but I will mention Clause 36 in summary. We had the role and responsibilities of the TSC. It meant that we delete a particular clause, because that role had already been allocated. The National Assembly suggested that the role of the TSC and the requirements for qualification had already been put as a separate part of the Act. Putting it in again as (a) and (b) of defining those same qualifications, would be problematic. We, therefore, went with the position from the National Assembly. Madam Deputy Speaker, in Clause 37, the Senate was upheld in the amendment that it had in terms of the functions and establishing a county childhood education as a committee for the education board. The role of the County Education Board that the Senate felt was important was upheld. We had Clause 44, which I will not go into detail, because I have just given the gist of the issues that came to and fro through the clauses that I have gone through. What we generally realized in the Mediation Committee is that we did not differ ideologically or in terms of infrastructural set up. We differed in terms of the language that the Senate was using verses the language of the National Assembly, the technicality of the Basic Education Act and what we were trying to do. The Early Childhood Development Bill is one of the Bills that will help to streamline the sector, especially in the counties. This Bill gives the provision for everything that an ECDE centre should have."
