    "content": "Sustainability is another factor. The policy should be designed to ensure sustainability by ensuring that there are clear guidelines for management and maintenance of Junior Secondary Schools. Governance policies should be adopted by the implementation of the curriculum reform. The Ministry of Education should streamline governance structures to support the implementation of the curriculum. It should also establish mechanisms for effective consultation, coordination and evaluation of the curriculum. Most of the sub-counties in the Republic of Kenya have only one Education Director who is in charge of supervising or ensuring the governance of more than 100 primary schools in a constituency. There is need to increase the levels of governance within the Junior Secondary Schools education curriculum. There are issues of access to curriculum support materials, public-private partnerships (PPP) and equity in education. The Government should promote inclusive education to ensure equity in education and training. This will help to address needs of learners with disabilities and vulnerable groups in nomadic areas, arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) and those living in extreme poverty and informal settlements. Hon. Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, it is worth noting that the implementation of the CBC, specifically transitioning to JSS, continue facing the following challenges: Lack of adequate learning facilities, lack of adequate training of teachers on CBC, large class sizes, lack of adequate teachers, lack of adequate teaching, ignorance and lack of involvement by parents. There is need for the Ministry of Education to ensure that there is a Junior Secondary Schools education policy that is well grounded under the Basic Education Act of 2012 and implementation framework for sustainability. It is against this background that I seek the support of this House on this definite matter of urgent national importance regarding the development of policy and implementation framework for JSS, as well as regarding their funding in the Republic of Kenya. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the Motion. I request the Member for Kamukunji to second. I thank you."
