    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology concerning the shortage of teachers countrywide. This is interfering with quality of education in the country. For instance, in Mwatate Constituency and in Taita Taveta County, there is a shortage of 134 primary school teachers and 353 secondary school teachers and yet, we were only given 15 primary school teachers and 78 secondary school teachers. This is of concern as some teachers will also retire this year, thus compounding the problem. In her Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the long-term measures the Ministry of Education has put in place to ensure that there are sufficient teachers in primary and secondary schools to ensure there is continuity in the learning process."
