"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I was in my constituency, I overheard some principals saying: “Now that the ranking system is not there, we do not need to work hard because we will just be like any other person.” For as long as ranking is not there, this will compromise the standard in teaching and hard work. We want to reward people who are doing well, but how do you do it? You only reward them if you recognise them.There is no way you can recognise them if the ranking system is not there. Looking at the history of this issue, in other jurisdictions like the United States of America (USA), universities are ranked. You will be told that this and that university is this and that number in terms of performance. Recently, University of Nairobi was ranked third in Africa and first in the region. How did we know this? We knew this because there is a clear criterion of ranking."
