    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the amendment by Prof. Nyikal. If this amendment is carried into the Motion, I will not have a problem with this Motion as it is. My problem with the ranking system as it has been is that, it limits education to only one thing called passing examinations. If we tracked the top ranked pupils and see how they perform in secondary schools, it is not consistent. That makes the ranking system poor. If we carry the amendment by Prof. Nyikal, we will develop something that can enable us rank schools and students in the same manner that universities are ranked internationally. That is by the way the students perform, the amount of money invested in that school and the kind of infrastructure in that school. That will be very important. You cannot compare a national school funded with Kshs30 million a year with a day school which does not have any national Government funding and rank the two. That does not work. I urge this House to adopt and support the amendment by Prof. Nyikal to make this Motion useful and one that can help the education sector in this country."
