    "content": "In addition, the applicants are required to produce evidence of adherence to positive moral values and police clearance, among others. Due to these stringent requirements, many Kenyans could not qualify for the intakes notwithstanding the Ministry having re-advertised for the Pre-Service Teacher Training College intakes for the 2021 for the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education 2021 (PDTE) and Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education 2021(DECTE). Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: 1. Could the relevant Ministry explain whether there are any policies in place that guide and address matters regarding intakes of applicants to TTCs in the country for diploma courses considering the huge demand by so many school leavers to join and how it is operationalised, and if not, what measures are the Ministry putting in place to ensure that policies are established to address fairness and equity during TTC intakes? 2. What action is the relevant Ministry undertaking to address the disadvantaged applicants considering what the average mean scores of so many Kenyans across the country were having scored an average of KCSE mean score of C (Plain) but having one of the following subjects, namely, English, Kiswahili, Mathematics, and any one subject in humanities and sciences below the required score of C (Plain)? 3. Further, what action is the relevant Ministry undertaking to address the disadvantaged applicants who scored below the average mean grade of C (Plain) but having one or even more of the following subjects, namely, English, Kiswahili, Mathematics, and any one subject in humanities and sciences above the required score of C (Plain)? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
