    "content": "teachers. Some teachers are employed by parents. The boards should employ qualified teachers to raise the standards of education in this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should encourage children to go to school. In my sub-county, we have large farms. Because of the poverty index, most pupils would prefer going to work on the farms instead of going to school. I do not agree with the Member who said that we should provide food to students. The boards should remove barriers to quality education. Hon. (Dr.) Pukose will agree with me that we have a problem in our county because of the large farms. This is because students prefer going to work in the farms in the afternoon. Students should be encouraged to go to school to read and avoid labour. I would also like to talk about remedial studies. We do not have qualified teachers because we have a shortage of teachers. Facilities are also not equally distributed. During the Third Reading of the Bill, we should introduce remedial studies so that students can take part in evening classes as it is now illegal for teachers to carry out remedial studies. We should introduce an amendment to re-introduce remedial studies in schools to make up for deficiencies and inequitable distribution of facilities in our schools."
