    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion and to congratulate my friend, Sen. Karaba, who is a teacher for bringing this Motion today. To underscore what the Senator for Meru has said, this is something that needs to be looked at very carefully and a national policy developed regarding it. I will not regard adult education as something that is simply to open the eyes of adults. We need to have a concept of continuing education. When I was in Makerere University many years ago, there was something called Centre for Continuing Education (CCE). In other words, education never ends. Education is not just received in formal settings like schools, but can also be carried out from radio, newspapers and television. Indeed, many years ago when we were growing up, there was a college here called the British Tutorial College (BTC). The mission of this college was to give people education through correspondence. Many people who could not afford to go to formal primary and secondary schools got education through the BTC. Eventually, they sat formal examinations. Unlike the Senator for Meru, I will not dismiss education for certificates. There are some of us who are called late developers, people who realise their potential rather late in life. You may be 60 years or 70 years and realise that you are a lawyer, but 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."
