    "content": "Kenya education curriculum. KICD also engaged with the Ministry of Education with the aim of including chess in the Ministry‟s calendar of activities for sports and co-curricular activities. Additionally, KICD engaged with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) with the aim of creating Teacher Chess Champions in education centers. All these efforts have not been fruitful, but the European Parliament has expressed favourable opinion on using chess courses in schools as an educational tool. The Spanish Parliament has already approved the implementation of chess course as part of its curriculum. The petitioner, therefore, prays that the Senate intervenes in this matter with a view to- (i) Recommend for the implementation of chess as a core and/or as an elective subject in the new 2-6-3-3-3 curriculum. (ii) Recommend for budgetary allocation to support chess in schools and other institutions of learning. (iii) Recommend for the recognition of chess in the Ministry of Education calendar for sports and co-curricular activities. (iv) Recommend for the establishment of a chess and Mathematics Foundation to empower learners to perform better in Mathematics. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Orders No.231 I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes."
