    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research regarding causes and remedy of mass failure of students in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) 2021 in Kilifi County. During the 2021 KCSE results, Kilifi County registered a total of 15,473 students who sat for the said examination, out of which 7,268 were girls and 8,172 were boys. In general, students who did the examination in private schools were 2,387 and those in public schools were 13,086, while 72 did not sit for the examination. Statistics show that students from Kilifi County performed dismally with majority of them that is, 70 per cent, scoring D+ and below, with no single A plain. The mass failure of students in the county is worrying and is attributable to a system with low internal efficiency which does not guarantee production of quality human resource thus occasioning wastage of national resources. It is on account of this concern that I seek your indulgence to order an inquiry by the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: (1) The reasons for mass failure in examinations in the county with regard to how the education system is managed, teacher distribution and correlation between subject performance and the number of teachers deployed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the experiences and deficits thereof; (2) Learning materials availability especially in sciences in schools and general preparedness of the school systems to produce quality grades; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
