    "content": "Mr. Baiya asked: “What is the key priority?” The key priority is to ensure, in conformity with the education for all by 2015, the Millennium Development Goals, that every school going child, first and foremost, is in school. Secondly, we want to ensure that there is retention of that child in the classroom for the business of learning. Thirdly, we want to ensure that there is increased transition rate. When we started in 2003, the transition rate was 46.4 percent but today, it is 72.5 percent. We are ahead of our stipulated transition rate by MDGs of 70 percent by 2011. So, we are ahead by 2.5 percent. So, we are doing very well. We will move to 80, 90 percent and hopefully 100 percent when that time comes. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Affey asked about opportunities for the north and why we have not increase schools in the counties. We have started with Garissa and we will increase schools in the counties. Again, hon. Members will have an opportunity through the task force report to ventilate their views more and add value to that report so that it becomes an inclusive policy for Kenyans in education. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for your attention."
