    "content": "wake up in the morning and refuse to go to school depending on how the school and the teachers are. If the teacher does not know basic child psychology, they will not be able to deal with children who woke up with tantrums or children who have seen a lot of domestic violence in their homes. If this child is taken to a school where the teacher has been trained on how to deal with these psychological issues, the child is able to cope. This is a child who will love schooling. Unfortunately private schools are very expensive and as parents, sometimes we are forced to take loans to take our children to private nursery schools so that the child can get adequate training that they so much desire at the pre-primary level. If the national Government works hand in hand with the county Government and trains and recruits the right people, then the poor citizens will not have to struggle so much to take loans in order to educate their children in private schools. These policies should be harmonized and implemented accordingly to ensure uniformity. When affordable quality education is granted, then we know we are on the right path as a country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, after training, where these teachers are being deployed should be looked at. The Government should ensure that there is security and that they have deployed the right teachers in the schools so that the children are not abused or their rights violated. At the moment, there is a lot of defilement of minors in our country and we wonder why. Good food should be provided in the schools. For example, in Kibera, the schools that provide food are flooded with children. I urge the national Government to ensure that they continue with the school feeding programme. The county governments can also network with like-minded partners who can provide the facilities that are required. If the children do not have uniform or clothing, there are charitable organizations who can provide books and uniform because this is a reality and this is what happens in our country. I beg to support the Motion."
