"content": "unless you are in a private school. But if you are learning in a public institution, then these facilities are not there. As we look into the development of capacity in the training, recruitment and deployment of teachers, we also need to see how best these kids are going to survive in these schools. That is why both the county governments and the national Government should strive to make pre-primary education classes our best classroom models. It should not be the case that only Standard Eight pupils who are going to sit for their final examinations have a very nice class; they have best facilities; they are the only ones who take tea and lunch in school. We should also look at this child that, at one point, will move from this level of being in an Early Childhood Development (ECD) and transit on to the primary level even to reach that Standard Eight. Madam Temporary Speaker, I will also recommend having parental education – we call it parenting education – to support the child. When the child gets home from school, this parent knows that he or she has to help his or her child do their assignment. He should encourage him or her by telling him or her what he or she is supposed to do and, maybe, what they want to be in future. Lastly, Madam Temporary Speaker, I will also give my recommendation on the pre-primary education. I would think of having Class One to Class Three be included as part of the pre-primary education because these children are of a tender age. Mostly, when someone is in Class Three, he or she is aged around nine years, and they still need this tender care. With those few remarks, Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to say that most of us here are a product of a good foundation and we always know that a good foundation builds a good future for us. That is why it is very important for the national Government to take measures and come up with this framework and policy to assist county governments develop capacity in the training, recruitment and deployment of teachers. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
