    "content": " In preparations for the transition to Grade 9, we have focused on three main aspects: Provision of adequate classrooms and furniture, provision of adequate textbooks and recruitment of additional teachers. Regarding classrooms, the Ministry undertook a countrywide assessment, which found out that the total classroom requirement for Grade 9 is 16,000 classrooms. To ensure those classrooms are ready by January 2025, the Government has disbursed Ksh11 billion to schools across the country to construct 11,000 Grade 9 classrooms. A further Ksh6.8 billion has been allocated to NG-CDF, being Ksh3.4 billion from the Ministry of Education matched with Ksh3.4 billion from NG-CDF, for 6,800 classrooms. The 18 constituencies in Nairobi County have been allocated another Ksh1 billion for infrastructure development through NG- CDF. We take the opportunity to thank Members for the work they are doing in their respective constituencies in constructing the classrooms. We value that support and partnership. Every public JSS with learners on NEMIS gets Ksh15,042 per learner per year. There is a vote for repairs and improvement of school infrastructure, which is currently Ksh4,000 per learner per year. The Ministry has directed that the money under this vote for this term be strictly used for the provision of desks and chairs for Grade Nine students."
