    "content": "On the issue of cost, many teachers are like many of us here. The payslip has a net pay of zero. They have many loans from their SACCOS. I have seen payslips of many teachers; they have mortgages. I do not see any who can out of the blue come up with the Kshs150,000 for something they should be getting for free as part of our investment in education. Finally, I heard Sen. (Dr.) Ali talk about CBC. I know there has been hue and cry around the new curriculum. Nevertheless, none of us has heard the voice of the students. We need to look at it differently and hope that the Committee on Education, whose Chairperson is consulting and not listening to us, can organise a forum for Senators on this issue. Let us look at what is happening around the world. Let us not put our children in a cocoon. We have heard what parents and the teachers are saying. What is the best interest of the children? Sen (Dr.) Milgo, you should organise a conference where all of us are taken through as parents or potential teachers to understand what is needed. Not much has changed; please, let us get an answer from your Committee in the shortest time possible. Our teachers are really crying because of this."
