    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that most pupils in primary and secondary schools are currently facing ethical behavioural challenges manifested in the rampant cases of drug and substance abuse, socially unacceptable sexual misadventures and antisocial behaviour that has contributed to their poor study habits, academic and underachievement and increased conflict with parents, teachers and guardians; noting that there have been increased case of violence in the form of school strikes and burning of schools; cognisant of the fact that a break up from cultural norms, rising unemployment rates and stress from parents among other factors has patent and negatively affected the students behaviour in schools leading to increased suspensions or expulsions and drop outs; deeply concerned that students from families experiencing domestic violence, separation, single parenthood, terminal illness and the recent COVID-19 Pandemic among other myriad of problems are prone to depression; appreciating that there is need of guidance of teenagers at their formative stages in life, this House therefore urges that the Government through the Ministry of Education introduces mandatory weekly guidance and counselling to all students in primary and secondary schools in Kenya by definition of counsellor roles, restructuring curriculum programmes, implementation of comprehensive school counselling programmes and development of system support. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
