    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that communities have continuously established learning institutions within their localities to address the inadequate physical facilities to support the attainment of universal access to education. Noting that the Kenya Vision 2030 envisioned progressive establishment of more schools, expansion and rehabilitation of the existing ones in order to improve access to education. Further noting that huge sums of fund particularly under the National government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) have been invested in improving infrastructure in primary schools. Acknowledging that in the recently introduced Competency Based Curriculum education system, pupils will transition from primary schools at class six and not class eight as was the case under 8-4-4 system; concerned that basing Junior Secondary Schools in selected primary schools will render classroom facilities that previously housed classes seven and eight redundant and that the arrangement would compel students to travel for longer distances to access institutions where Junior Secondary School are based; further concerned that the guidelines recently issued by the Government directed that Junior Secondary Schools be domiciled in the existing primary schools, yet most primary schools lack the capacity to accommodate and effectively offer Junior Secondary Schools curriculum; deeply concerned that the guidelines were hurriedly developed and operationalised; this House urges the Ministry of Education to – 1. Urgently develop a comprehensive Junior Secondary Schools Policy in order to regularise and anchor the guidelines under the Basic Education Act, 2012 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
