"content": "to Mangu High School or Alliance High School. We need to create centres back home. That is the most important thing. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Kshs1.3 billion that is provided for the hiring of 10,500 additional teachers on contract translates to Kshs6 million per constituency. This is not to say that the other teachers are not busy. This is to ensure that quality is preserved. The same goes for the Kshs53 million shillings that will allow every constituency to recruit more teachers in secondary schools. You cannot beat it. If you look at it, you will realise that this is something that is being programmed. Really, the good thing here is the fact that, at least, these Ministries are being run on the basis of knowing where we are going. Vision 2030 is there. It is being properly implemented. We should be able to say âthank youâ to the two Ministers and the two Permanent Secretary (PSs) and their very dedicated officials in the Ministries. Let us continue to salute the teachers, who toil day and night, because the work of a teacher does not end during the day. Teachers do not go home and sleep. They carry work home to mark. They have got to prepare for the next day. I want to say that it is wonderful because these teachers were rewarded not so long time ago. I believe that they have been given good salaries. It is our hope that they are going to continue with this very wonderful work. I want to commend the Minister, because he has provided for all areas. The Early Childhood Development (ECD) is now set to be mainstreamed by the year 2010. That is going to be good, because, again, that is the foundation of education. Even more important is the fact that we need to ensure that our own education also puts some emphasis on science. This should not be at the expense of the arts; it is important to ensure that we now change the ratio, so that we have a sufficient number of students studying Mathematics and the others--- Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can see that I am being called off, but I commend this Vote and support it."
