    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education on the Ministry of Education policy of merging registration centres for national examinations. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Apprise the Senate on the criteria developed for merging registration centres for national examinations in secondary and primary schools, to a minimum of 40 candidates per center. (2) State whether factors such as distance between homesteads and schools, weather elements, geographical features and cultural activities were considered in developing the criteria. (3) Explain reasons behind the policy and its implication on schools especially in hardship and marginalized areas that may not raise the required number of 40 students in order to be considered and registered as examination centers. (4) Inform the Senate whether the Ministry engaged relevant stakeholders before coming up with the criteria. (5) Outline measures, if any, that the Ministry will put in place in facilitating the ease of movement of candidates to the aforementioned examination centres. Thank you."
