    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notices of the following Motions:- THAT, in view of the inequitable and unstructured distribution of loans managed by the Higher Education Loans Board for students in institutions of higher learning; aware that the funds distribution has tended to favour students from urban areas and high populated regions of this country; cognisance of the need to provide all young persons with equal opportunities to acquire knowledge and specialised skills, this House grants leave for the introduction of a Bill for an Act of Parliament to amend the Higher Education Loans Board Act, Chapter 213(a) of the Laws of Kenya, to provide for a decentralised Constituency Higher Education Loans Scheme to ensure equitable distribution of loans at the constituency level to students in both regular and parallel programmes studying in public and private universities, and for matters incidental thereto and connected therewith. IMPLEMENTATION OF EDUCATION FOR ALL PROGRAMMES THAT, in view of the Government's goal and policy to provide education for all by 2015 in line with its commitment to international declarations, protocols and conventions; aware of the various measures and reforms being instituted to address the challenges related to a safe, equity, quality and relevance of the education system; concerned that the gross enrolment rate for pre-primary has been declining; aware that gross enrolment rate improved in 2003 following the introduction of free primary education; bearing in mind that female students constitute a mere 32 per cent of the total enrolment in public universities and 54 per cent in private universities, this House urges the Government to fast-track and implement education for all programmes among the poor sections of the society to ensure girl-child enrolment is improved to attain parity with the male-child enrolment at all levels of education.
