    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry will also recruit the ECDE teachers in the next financial year. That has been advertised. There is also the school feeding programme. The Ministry has also established national assessment system for monitoring learner achievement under the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC). The Ministry yesterday launched a task force on the realignment of the education sector to the new Constitution and its findings will be presented to Parliament for deliberation at a later date. The Ministry has instituted a task force to establish the causes of poor performance in Mathematics and sciences. The Ministry has also operationalized the school infrastructure investment programme and the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) in primary and secondary schools. The Ministry recently recruited contractual teachers. The Ministry has also strengthened the capacity building programme for teachers and officers through Strengthening Mathematics and Science Education (SMASSE) programme in schools. The Ministry is also enhancing standards assessment of weak performing schools and also upgrading teachers’ pedagogical skills through capacity building workshops, particularly for weak performing counties in Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). The Kenya Education Staff Institution (KESI) is also organizing capacity building seminars for school management committee and head-teachers as managers and supervisors of education programmes in primary schools. The Ministry has actually closed and will close sub-standard private schools and freeze the registration of such schools that do not meet the standards set by the Ministry of Education."
