    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a request for a Statement on entry qualifications for Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding ECDE in the country, in light of the change of policy by the Ministry of Education and the Teachers Service Commission, raising the minimum entry qualifications into teaching service from certificates to diploma. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Indicate the number of ECDE institutions in each county as well as the collective number of teachers that have been employed at their institutions in the last two years, stating the shortfall if any, (2) Report on the effect of the new directive that raises the minimum entry qualification into the Teachers Service for both Pre-Primary, ECDE and Primary level from certificate to diploma, with a minimum grade of a C Plain in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), from the previous requirement of a D Plain, and; (3) Further spell out measures in place to ensure that ECDE institutions will be adequately staffed in light of the directives. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir I want to continue with one more Statement."
