    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, free primary education and affordable secondary education as started by the NARC Government in 2003 and also the Grand Coalition Government in 2008 for secondary schools have had a lot of advantages to school going children. One of the most highlighted is the increase in enrolment in both primary and secondary schools. The first beneficiaries of free primary education sat for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) last year and there has been an increase, almost threefold in terms of enrolment. This has also gone up with the high cost of education in terms of several issues. The cost of learning material has gone up in respect to things like uniforms and books. The increase in cost has always been transferred to parents. As was ably stated by the Mover of the Motion, Kshs10,265 goes to secondary schools per student. Yesterday, there was a Question in this House where a hon. Member wanted the Minister to show how that amount is distributed."
