    "content": "Arising from acute shortage of teachers at the primary and secondary levels, the pupils/teachers ratios have reached unacceptable levels, particularly urban slums, high population areas and in rural ASAL districts, and thus impact negatively on the quality of education. In addition, the shortage of qualify assurance and standards officers continue to undermine the critical role they are supposed to play in ensuring effective curriculum delivery. Funding for the recruitment of 6,000 teachers as provided for under Vision 2030 has not been provided for in the Budget and this is likely to undermine our efforts to improve the quality of education. Indeed, in order to engage meaningfully in addressing the teacher shortage, it is important to continue with this programme as provided for under Vision 2030. Hon. Members may wish to deliberate on this matter because it is a concern for us, as a Ministry, and we have already discussed it with the relevant Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology."
