    "content": "We have Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes which are under the county governments. They are neglected. Most of our schools do not have them. I urge the county governments to allocate enough funds to put up good classrooms for our toddlers who go to school. Sometimes they learn in very poor facilities. They are very young. They need to be taken very seriously. They are very delicate. They need proper classes to start their education journey. Therefore, they should put up enough classrooms and allocate funds for teachers. If you go to my constituency, and I believe in many others, you will find that there are schools where parents employ teachers for the nursery school kids. They usually employ some who are not qualified. They need to be trained. The counties should allocate enough money to pay these teachers. In the last session of this Parliament, we passed a Bill that stated that nursery school teachers should be trained. They should also be knowledgeable. We should not give our children to people who are not fully baked to teach them when they are starting their education. If they do not start well, they will have a problem when they go up the education ladder. Therefore, we also need to look into that aspect."
