    "content": "indicated with respect to timelines that we are working towards ensuring that they will be fully part and parcel of our formal education by the 2027-2029 Quarter. So, integration is taking place. The policy and guidelines are being prepared. We will undertake public participation to seek for wide acceptance of the policy and the guidelines by Kenya so that this becomes part and parcel of our education system. We are targeting 100 per cent transition in order to deal with the issue of the children who are out of school for one reason or another. These include the strategies that we are employing, including introduction of school meals so as to retain students in school. We are undertaking all this towards a 2029 full implementation target as outlined in table I referred to earlier. As I have mentioned, there are pilot programmes in Mandera, Wajir, Garissa and Lamu counties to ensure that, by the time we roll it out 100 per cent, it is a workable programme that allows all our children to be in one school where they attend their Madrassa and Duksi classes while in formal education institutions. We will come up with a curriculum that covers all that, and guidelines that ensure they are not left behind and there are no gaps in education. The period within which we intend to roll out the national application of that programme is by 2029. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
