    "content": "I will start with Sen. Joe Nyutu’s question. Yes, an assessment was done to the content for the teachers who are handling junior school. To that extent, a number of teachers have so far been retooled. A total of 220,000 teachers have been retooled in all of the CBC programme to ensure that they are brought up to the standard to handle the content that is provided for in JSS and the other areas. They are subject-specific. However, we still have shortfalls and gaps. That is why we did an internship of 20,000 this year. We also provided resources for another 20,000 next year in the budget. So, there is something that is being done to ensure that there is retooling, so that the teachers have the content and capacity to take our students through the CBC programme. Next was Sen. Orwoba’s question. We now have three pathways and arts and sports are going to be mainstreamed. They are no longer going to be a co-curricular activity that is dealt with on the sidelines. Now that it is mainstreamed, the resources will then follow that mainstreaming, including the training and capacity-building of those teachers to ensure that they are up to standard and up to date with the curriculum and training for creative arts."
