    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion. Education is the beginning of life. I have looked at this Motion keenly and would like to go back to the old days when students in Kenya used to go to South Africa to do an examination called Matriculation. This was because there was no way forward in this country. There were so December 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4181 many limitations. For so many years, the highest primary education level attainable was Standard Four. At that time there was an examination called Competitive Common Entrance Examination. Some of the people who failed that examination went to Uganda to study what was called \"Junior Five\". This was supposed to take you through the \"A\" level education. Then there was Kenya African Preliminary Examination (KAPE). This was a stage from Standard Four to Standard Eight. The KAPE was the genesis for proliferation of knowledge. Indeed, it was a wake up call for Kenyans. We were made to understand that the system was not a hurdle, but a system of refinement that would prepare a student for college and university life."
