    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill is, in fact, one of the most straight forward Bills that I have had to present to this House. Part II of the Bill deals with the composition and administration, including guiding principles, functions of the Commission, its committees and its powers and units. It also deals with the conduct of the affairs of the Commission. Part III deals with the registration and discipline of teachers and compliance with teaching standards. It also deals with qualifications for registration as a teacher. I have it on high authority from the TSC General-Secretary himself, saying that with the enactment of this law, all teachers, whether in private or public schools, will be registered to ensure compliance with standards. They will be issued with a registration certificate. This will regulate the profession and ensure Kenyan children are handled by competent persons. In addition, he has assured me that the proposal I table on this Floor under Clause No.35 for teaching standards; that teachers will undertake career progression courses to make them relevant and up to date with the emerging trends and challenges in the teaching profession. In addition, a teacher will be required to take a teaching certificate, just like lawyers take practising certificates, to ensure that they are registered and that they have undertaken continous teacher-training modules after deployment as will be prescribed by the Commission."
