    "content": "society, catering for the unique requirements of students with diverse learning abilities and disabilities. Additionally, it is evident that non-teaching, often referred to as support staff, play a vital role in fostering a conducive teaching and learning environment within schools. Support staff encompasses a wide range of roles, including administrative personnel, transcribers, physiotherapists, teachers’ aides, cooks, cleaners and drivers. They play a crucial role, often extending beyond the confines of traditional teaching responsibilities. However, schools continue to face challenges such as delayed payment of support staff salaries and inadequate staffing levels, which have adversely impacted the smooth operation of the schools. It is against this backdrop that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: 1. What measures has the Ministry of Education put in place to ensure increased budget allocations to meet the needs of special needs schools and timely payment of support staff, particularly in Kabarnet School for Deafblind Children in Baringo Central Constituency? 2. What initiatives have been rolled out to support staff in schools catering for students with disabilities? 3. When does the Ministry intend to support staff in affected special schools given the crucial role of support staff in fostering effective learning environments for students with disabilities? Thank you, Hon. Speaker"
