    "content": "Hon. Speaker, education and growth for the students are essential for knowledge and capability test. Indeed, most schools have completed the curriculum and are prepared for the upcoming national examinations which are scheduled to run from 28th November to 3rd December 2022. Regrettably, it has come to my attention that there are schools in many urban centres particularly, Nairobi City County and especially in Embakasi West Constituency that do not have the physical infrastructure to administer KCPE and KPSEA concurrently. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education. In the Statement the Chairperson should address the following matters: (i) Specific steps and arrangements that the Ministry is taking to accommodate schools especially in urban areas with a very high number of candidates sitting for the two examinations? (ii) Specific steps that the Ministry is taking to facilitate schools that cannot meet the Kenya National Examinations Council’s (KNEC) recommended ratio of 20 to 1 - the ideal standard is 20 students per classroom? (iii) The possibility of administering the two examinations in different periods. Hon. Speaker, if I may get your indulgence because my question is time- barred, in my constituency I have students who might be doing their examinations in tents and it is raining. So, I request to get a response on this matter preferably this week."
