    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion to the Ministry of Education:- THAT, cognizant of the fact that the Government policy on Free Primary School Education (FPE) and Free Secondary School Education (FSE) has been in place since 2003 and 2004; noting that the Kenyan economy was then at the total discretionary national budget of Kshs284 billion and the corresponding Government grant for secondary schools education was Kshs10,265 per student and Kshs1,060 per pupil for FPE; aware that these figures have remained static to date and yet the economy has since then grown threefold to a total discretionary national budget of Kshs834 billion for the Financial Year 2010/2011 with a respective nominal GDP of Kshs1.260 trillion in 2003/2004 and Kshs2.713 trillion in 2010/2011; noting that the cost of living has risen tremendously over the same period; this House urges the Government to double the secondary school grant per student to Kshs20,530 and treble the primary school grant per pupil to Kshs3,180 in order to ease the burden of the high cost of education in the country on parents and guardians."
