    "content": "The outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic last year disrupted in-person learning leading to closure of schools for nine months. The Government is determined to recover the lost time while ensuring safe learning in our schools, colleges and universities. In this respect, I have set aside a total of Kshs202.8 billion to support programmes in the education sector. Out of the proposed allocation, Kshs12 billion will cater for free primary education, Kshs2.5 billion for recruitment of teachers, Kshs62.2 billion for free day secondary education including insurance under the NHIF for secondary school students, Kshs4.0 billion for examinations fee waiver for all Class Eight and Form Four candidates, and Kshs1.8 billion for the School Feeding Programme. In addition, I have proposed an allocation of Kshs1 billion for the Competency Based Curriculum and Kshs420 million for the Digital Literacy Programme and ICT integration in our secondary schools. To support infrastructure development and ensure safe learning in our schools, I have proposed an allocation of Kshs4.2 billion for primary and secondary schools’ infrastructure and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
