    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to inform the House that the answer I am going to give is a little long. Therefore, you will bear with me. I beg to reply. (a) The requirements for registration of a primary or secondary school are as follows:- (i) Duly completed and signed application forms from the institution. (ii) Duly completed and signed application forms from the manager of the institution. (iii) A recent full school inspection report from the DEO's/MEO's or PDE's office, stamped and signed. (iv) A detailed recent public health/sanitary inspection report, stamped and signed. (v) Title deed or allotment letter or a valid lease agreement covering a period of not less than eight years for the land on which the institution is. (vi) Certified copies of professional and academic certificates of all teachers and managers of the institution. (vii) Certified copies of registration certificates of the teachers with TSC. (viii) Supporting DEB minutes or extracts from DEB minutes signed by the secretary and chairman of DEB. (ix) Site/plans/sketches of the institution showing the existing facilities and future 3666 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 27, 2008 development or extension plans. (x) A copy of the registration of the institution's business name under the Business Names Act or a certified copy of the registration of the organization as a society or a limited company and copy of Memorandum of Association. (xi) Charges to defray registration costs as follows:- (a) For public schools, Kshs1,000, for provisional registration. (b) For private schools, Kshs10,000 for provisional registration. (c) For private schools, Kshs5,000 for re-registration and full registration. (d) If a school belongs to a church or a religious-based organization, provisional registration or re-registration is Kshs4,000. They are also required to bring a bankers' cheque made to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education. Money or postal order is not accepted. It has to be cash. (b) I am aware that there are some old schools that have not been re-registered and newly established ones which have not been registered. Some of these schools meet the basic requirements for registration while others do not. (c) The Ministry has taken the following measures to stop the practice:- 1. Sensitization of stakeholders on the process of registration. 2. We have dispatched a circular from the Ministry to the Provincial Directors of Education, District Education Officers and the Directors of City Education instructing them to ensure that all schools and colleges within their areas of jurisdiction are registered. This was done on 5th September, 2008. 3. Information on registration of schools was made to the public during the Public Service Week and the Nairobi International Show. 4. Survey on the service delivery on the registration of schools is going on in the districts today. 5. We register schools which meet the basic requirements for registration upon receiving recommendations of the District Education Board. 6. We are piloting the e-registration system which will make it faster to have the registration done. 7. The Ministry has employed 334 Senior Quality Assurance and Standards Officers who will help us in ensuring that the registration is done faster. 8. We are making it a policy that complete application of registration of an education institution is processed in less than 28 days instead of it staying for a long time."
