"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concern from the hon. Member. It is true that Kenya Polytechnic and Mombasa Polytechnic will be universities very soon. They will, in fact, be technical universities. We are trying to align some of the specialized courses towards those technical universities. Kenya Science Teachers College is one institution that we are going to discuss because they are still under the same mother institution, that is, University of Nairobi. I believe that any suggestions towards ensuring that we retain the quality of the science teacher will be acceptable. As I mentioned earlier, the University of Nairobi has just produced one part of graduates from that institution and they are asking us to test on the ground. However, we would like to negotiate with the TSC to see whether they are still interested in a diploma holder or a degree graduate for their teaching. If the quality of the graduate teacher coming out of Kenya Science Teachers College is still going to be a semblance of the old Kenya Science Teachers College diploma holder however upgraded the candidates would be, we will be happy to synchronize our strategies with those of the TSC so that we answer to the Vision 2030 as the hon. Member has said."
