The sub-county boards will oversee these tasks, allowing the county education board only to validate and rubberstamp matters that the sub- county education boards have already addressed before forwarding them to the Ministry. This Bill proposes to give the Sub-County Education Board the mandate to independently perform the following functions: First, registration and establishment of a data bank for all education and training institutions in the sub-county. Officers in the sub-county offices understand the terrains and geographical features in their regions. They also know the needs of the local people better than county officials stationed far from the sub-county. Therefore, the collection of the required information on the schools in an area can be fast- tracked by the sub-county education office, and a copy can be given to the County Education Board. Further, immediately after it gets to the Ministry offices, any response needed will be sent to the required client."}
