    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we rank schools, we reward the top performers because, at the end of the day, the objective is to improve the standard of education in the country. I can refer the House to a case where a member of the clergy called Rev. Langat, at one time, decided to reward the worst performing schools in my constituency. He rewarded a school called Tendeno Primary school and another one called Chepcholiet Primary School. He gave them Bibles. That single action changed the performance of the two schools. They are now performing very well. Last year, when one of the schools called Simboiyon Primary School was ranked amongst the least performing schools and another one called Utafiti Primary School was ranked among the best performers, I visited both schools to establish why one school did very well while the other did so badly. Surprisingly, Simboiyon Primary School, which was performing poorly, has become the best improved school. The school improved by 45 points. Therefore, ranking of schools helps to improve the standard of education in the country. Finally, since I want to save time for my colleagues to contribute to this debate, I would like to wind up by advising the Ministry to apply different styles of ranking for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
