    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, forgiving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Education is a good that every Kenyan seeks right from the beginning to the end. It is the one that will make a difference in terms of social and economic mobility. In this society, you will find the poorest peasant farmer selling his piece of land to take his child to school. That is why we find parents struggling to take their children to public and private institutions to ensure that they get the best quality of education. The classification of schools is very critical in the Kenyan context because the type of school you enroll your child in will determine the kind of education he will get. We have national, provincial and district schools. Parents struggle to get their children the best schools because they will be assured of joining universities. Therefore, as much as we say that we have moved away from the historical injustices, they form the basis for that particular classification. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we all know that the best 18 national schools in this country are concentrated in Kiambu and Uasin Gishu counties. This was for a very long time until the 16 secondary schools were upgraded to national level status. There was not a single national school in the coast, eastern, western and the north eastern region."
