    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I can see the Government is implementing the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). They are doing the rapid initiative in terms of adding classrooms for junior secondary schools as per the CBC programme. However, I have not seen the Bill of Quantities (BQs) that the Ministry of Education is using. I have seen some of their BQs but not any parts where they are saying those classrooms must be disability friendly where disabled children can access. I know the Ministry of Education is watching. Even if they give local contractors to build those schools, they must ensure that those classrooms are friendly and accessible to children with disabilities. For example, In Nandi, we only have one school that offers special needs education. That is Kapsabet School for the Deaf which is a primary school. It has been a challenge even in Uasin Gishu as you have said. The Catholic Church has also been impressive. They have the small home programme where they assist students with special needs. There are special homes and schools in Tinderet that cater for children with special needs. I thank not only the Catholic Church but also the many other churches, religious groups and Muslim faithful that have come up to assist the children with special needs. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
