    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry has included Early Childhood Education Development (ECED) in the overall learning curriculum and national education policy. The Ministry developed a national ECED policy framework and service standard guidelines in the 2005/2006 financial year through consultations with stakeholders, which will be launched before the end of this year. In addition, the Sessional Paper No.1 of 2005 on \"A Policy Framework for Education, Training and Research\" outlines several issues and strategies affecting the ECED sub-sector. (b) The ECED services are currently provided by the Government through a policy of partnership. The Ministry of Education, together with the Ministry of Local Government, non- Governmental organisations (NGOs), community-based organisations (CBOs), faith-based organisations (FBOs), parents, individuals, among others, collaborate to provide education services for young children. However, the Ministry plans to integrate ECED into basic education by 2010. The Ministry is in the process of developing a scheme of service for ECED teachers in preparation for mainstreaming the ECED of four and five-year-old children into primary education structure. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even currently, we have district level centres dealing with this issue. They evaluate and train ECED teachers. However, the whole programme will be integrated by the year 2010."
