    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education concerning the state of Early Childhood Development Education, (ECDE) teachers training in the country. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide the enrolment figures for both the Diploma in Primary Education and the Diploma in ECDE across the Teachers Training Collages (TTC). (2) Outline the Cabinet Secretary’s effort to increase ECDE training enrolment to TTCs while ensuring immediate compliance with the National Pre-Primary Policy Guidelines that stipulate that tutors of ECDE teachers possess minimum qualification of degree in ECDE, noting an increase in students switching from their diploma in ECDE to Diploma in Primary Education due to entry qualification adjustment. (3) Detail the immediate measures being taken by the Ministry to encourage the appropriate methodological training approach for the Diploma in ECDE at TTCs considering that current tutors in TTCs are preliminarily trained for Primary Education. (4) Specify the number of licensed private ECDE Teachers Training Colleges offering the Diploma in ECDE, providing an update on the current status of preliminary registered Private ECDE Training Colleges that offer ECDE teachers training before the restructuring of teachers’ education and further, outline plans for the licensing of additional private ECDE training colleges. (5) Spell out the Ministry’s engagement with the stakeholders in the education sector towards addressing the challenges facing the training of ECDE teachers in order to guarantee the country suitably trained teachers."
