    "content": "This Bill also talks of the employment of the ECD teachers who should have Teachers Service Commission (TSC) approval. There are people who have pursued ECD training and have certificates, diplomas, degrees or Masters degrees in this country. However, there is no proper progression on how they can be catered for. Once somebody is an ECD teacher, he or she is the most lowly paid among the teaching fraternity. Why should we look down upon those who are in ECD as the most lowly paid and yet, they do a lot of work? Some ECD teachers have Masters Degrees. In other countries, they are remunerated well. They are paid as teachers. We should have a scale that does not discriminate ECD teachers. All those people who train to be ECD teachers clear Form 4 and they score the marks that they can use to get a Certificate in Primary Teacher Education (PI) or even go up to the university level. We should have a way of promoting somebody who has a good grade and has decided to become an ECD teacher, so that he or she is not looked down upon."
