    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, noting that Article 6 (2) of the Constitution recognizes that the National and County governments are distinct and inter-dependent; aware that devolution is an important principle in the new structure of governance; recognizing the fundamental role of education world-wide in fostering economic and social transformation prompting governments to create specialized agencies to, among other functions, regulate the training, registration, recruitment and deployment of teachers; aware that the function of pre-primary education is vested in the County Governments pursuant to the Fourth schedule to the Constitution; noting with concern that one of the main obstacles to the efficient and effective operation of County Governments is inadequacy of appropriate capacity; cognizant that Section 15 (2) of the Sixth schedule to the Constitution requires the national government to assist County Governments in building capacity to govern effectively and provide services for which they are responsible; the Senate calls on the National Government to take measures to assist County Governments to develop capacity in the training, recruitment and deployment of teachers for pre-primary education. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an issue that is very important to our country. This is a Motion which is seeking to address the plight of pre-primary education in the country with regard to teachers. The foregoing Motion, which was about a report of the Committee on Education, Information and Technology as captured from Vihiga, Kakamega, Kisii, Kisumu and Nyamira counties, indicated that the kind of education which children in pre-primary schools are exposed to is wanting. The Committee raised issues with the Senate that pre-primary education should not be left to the fate of uncertainty; we should not imagine that pre-primary education is not a development in itself as far as education is concerned. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
