"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, this system also requires laboratories. It is no longer just the normal schools. The laboratories should be put up so that they can carry out some of the practical subjects like Integrated Science, Health Education, Pre-technical Studies, Agriculture, and Home Science. All these subjects require a laboratory. There is a possibility that even one lab in a school might not be enough. The minimum requirement of one lab means that we have 32,469 labs in Kenya in the next three-and-a-half months. Are we prepared? We also require teachers. This teacher issue is one of the most notorious problems that we have. We have talked about free education for a long time. We even have Free Primary Education in place, but in most of these schools, you will find that teachers are not enough. On a regular basis, parents have to contribute to pay teachers. When parents are paying teachers, how then do we call that free education? Education is basically tuition, which is the payment for teachers to provide the service. So, the minute parents are paying teachers, then it means that that education is not free. Even in free secondary education, we do not have enough teachers. We have now introduced the Junior Secondary Schools yet we do not have enough The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
