    "content": "makes TVET institutions a challenge to many people. The quality of training in TVET varies greatly from institution to institution. There is lack of clear standards to be attained at any given level of certification. The reasons for this are many but one fundamental cause is the absence of uniform quality assurance standards which this Bill addresses. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, relevance to the industry is also very low because currently, the involvement of industry particularly in the setting of standards as well as the setting of curriculum is very low. The specific areas of consideration in respect of quality assurance in TVET cover admission criteria, curriculum being offered, training methods and certifications. All those are being addressed by this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the fact that TVET is training for the work place, the system is supposed to cater for 90 per cent that I have talked about so that they produce people who are skilled for Kenyan industries. Apart from poor infrastructure that we find in our training institutions, equipment and teaching or preparation of trainers has also become another challenge. The funding of TVET has also been a challenge and this Bill seeks to address and streamline this. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the performance and responsiveness of TIVET institutions in Kenya is also hampered by lack of clear organizational structure within the system. TIVET institutions management is key in the decision making and transformation process in the sector. Co-ordination mechanisms and linkages between TIVET institutions and different Ministries is also still weak and this Bill seek to address that."
