    "content": "I will oppose Clause 37 on holiday tuition. We are amending the Act and there are some things which we do not need to put into law. Tuition is something which can be done through a memo from the Ministry or even from the sub-county or county office. Each area should be looked at in its own merit. Some schools are over-staffed either because of their locality or because of the ties the head teacher or principal may have with the TSC. In the marginalized areas like North Eastern, there is a shortage of teachers. Parents employ teachers and they cannot cope with the hours which are set in the curriculum to meet all the demands of the children given the teacher to children ratio. Therefore, holiday tuition should be left to the individual schools and the boards should look at the merits and demerits and see if it is going to benefit the children or not. We should not slap a ban on tuition because it might affect some parts of our community especially in the rural areas. I, therefore, call for an amendment to Clause 37."
