    "content": "The right of access to information delivered in a suitable and legible medium of instruction in the education system. What is suitable? We have different disabilities disadvantage our young learners differently. If you are not able to translate the materials to a media that can be utilised by different groups of disabilities, it becomes a challenge and a restriction to the learning of these students. Therefore, that is a very important clause in this Bill that, access is not only accessing education. You must access it in quality, but also you must access information that is delivered in a suitable manner. Clause 6 provides for the rights of parents and guardians of learners with disabilities. They are mandated to ensure the completion of the child's basic education and that the learner attends school regularly. This is a very important provision, because leaners have a right to education. Caregivers and parents may be overwhelmed with other duties and may not provide. Therefore, it is important for us that we provide for the rights of the parents and also the guardians, so that their roles and those of the government can be outlined properly. Clauses 7 and 8 provide for the roles of the national Government and the county governments, respectively, as regards education for learners with disabilities."
