    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, all of the other provisions have been eloquently put forward by my co-sponsor, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. I wish to add the reason we call it the Learners with Disabilities Bill. Most people have asked why we say learners with disabilities. It is because many of us with disability in education systems are not of the ‘normal’ age to be starting in Class One or Two. Often, you will find a 26-year-old like Johnson in Watamu, who requires to start Class One at his age. That is why we call it the Learners with Disabilities Bill not the children with disabilities because not all learners are children. Lastly, the Bill provides for amendment to the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Act, 2013. I hope that this Bill is seen as a starting point and undergoes continuous amendments in the coming years, to improve the needs of learners with disabilities. It should be adaptive of challenges faced by families."
