    "content": "partnerships exist even in education. I have seen the capitation models which the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology provides to Government schools have been embraced for 10,000 young people, to go to private universities in Kenya which will be funded by the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB). We really need to think about this at the county level for Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE), primary education and secondary education. Where parents choose to send their children to what is not a Government school, they should move to the private provider with a capitation voucher. That private provider must be regulated and meets certain standards. I think that will help. We must cap it at 15 per cent to bring more players, provide capacity, quality and innovation in the education sector. I will be moving a Charter School Bill to copy that and bring that model to our primary and secondary schools. As I look at this County Early Childhood Education Bill from the Senate, I have sections that I want to commend. I think they are very important. The recruitment of ECDE teachers on Section 38 will be very important. We have to be careful to avoid the issue of ghost teachers and inflated recurrent expenditure of the county governments. We must make sure that the way we recruit teachers at this ECDE centres will be performance based. They can be evaluated for their outcomes and that they will also have mobility to teach across different counties based on their experience. The second issue we are talking about is administration.
