    "content": "Having every primary school have JSS is one way of creating equity by not having special, national, extra-county, sub-county and county schools. One of the major issues in this country about the planning of education is the people at the National Treasury developing a model of funding without talking to the stakeholders and educationists. As we go forward with Hon. Ruku's Motion, we must include a funding model that considers the views of the education stakeholders. Why am I saying this? You are aware that no primary school has a laboratory. You are aware that in this country we have decided that we will have a resource centre at that level. The only tested model in providing infrastructure for schools that works is the one that is done by the NG-CDF. The Ministry of Education, through this policy, must have a working model with NG-CDF and give it a conditional grant to develop resource centres. The 35,000 JSS classrooms have one teacher each on average. I urge this House that we resolve to fund and provide a funding line for JSS as a project. Why am I saying this? We know that if we were to lump all the money under basic education when it comes to the division of funds, decisions would be made by the purse-holder. If we provide a budget ine for junior secondary schools, the money will ensure they succeed. Finally, as we look at this Motion, I propose that Members of this House start thinking about how to make education affordable. We must resolve as a House that it is time to return to day schools. I support the Motion,"
