    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, Part II of the Bill is establishment, registration and accreditation of Vocational Education and Training Centres. Clause 8 sets out the categories of VETC that are out there. It categorises them into private and public. Clause 9 speaks to the fact that the county government, in consultation with the relevant stakeholders, must establish and maintain a record of all training centres including integrated centres. At the demand of one register, one will be able to tell how many integrated centres and VETC are in a given county. Clause 10 speaks to sponsorship. Sponsors come in form religious person. There must be a regulation to govern them. In the past, we have seen how religious people come and want to even affect the curriculum. We have specified that the role of the sponsor is to ensure quality education and training and they must work together with the board of management in line with the curriculum set out by the Ministry of Education. Clause 10(3) stipulates that a sponsor may make recommendations when the curriculum is being reviewed. It also speaks to how they can provide financial service to improve infrastructure. Clause 10(4) is a check to avoid compromising professional standards that may come from sponsors who are not sure of their functions. Clause 10(5) speaks to issues to avoid, the faith-based institutions from actually influencing the curriculum. Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 11 is talking about registration of persons to provide training in those institutions. In a short while we shall be bringing another Bill on interpreters and trainers. This Bill is also speaking to how we can license the people who are going to train so that we do not have every Tom, Dick and Harry going to teach in these training institutions. For a long time people have taken vocational training centres for granted. However, you will realize that they have futuristic skills required to spur our economy. Clause 11(b) is speaking to how a license of a trainer can be cancelled. (c) is speaking to how the trainer can be suspended. (d) is speaking to how that trainer can be updated on issues that should be going on in terms of training. (e) is speaking to learners in all the training centres so that at the opening of that register we can know the number of learners. (f) is talking about vocational integrated centres which are cherished more than those that are set aside. (g) will speak to issues of executive county member who may from time to time determine what happens in the various vocational training centres. Clause 12 continues to talk about registration of vocational education training centres. In this case it speaks to what is required and this is in line with what is specified in TVET (Technical and Vocational Training Act) on the requirements before registration. Clause 13 goes on to describe the registration and licensing of vocational centres. Clause 14 goes on to describe what the vocational centre’s requirement that a vocational centre must meet before any registration. They must meet the occupational, health and safety requirements and others prescribed under this Act. Clause 14(b) will also prescribe that the vocational centre must be able to show clearly the type of training that is being offered in that centre.
