"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. It is a very timely Bill because devolution has been in place for four years. We should ensure that early childhood education is instituted in all our regions because this is the foundation for our children. We have talked about quality and well facilitated institutions within the counties. In my county, most schools are in the urban areas. Schools are not in the rural areas. In urban areas, children come from ECDE institutions and join other schools through an interview. However, in the rural areas, parents take their children to private ECDE centres and on joining the public schools, it becomes tricky because the standards are not the same. You may find that they will be forced to take their children to boarding schools, which are expensive and some parents may not be able to meet the fees there."
