    "content": "The Bill also says that for one to qualify to be an ECDE teacher, one must have a diploma and must be registered by the TSC. The TSC does not register ECDE teachers. Clause 6 of the Bill is contradictory. It says that county governments shall provide free and compulsory ECDE. That contradicts Clause 33(2)(e), which says that the functions of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) will be among other things, discussing and recommending charges to be levied on children or parents. Clause 39 is a duplicate of Clause 48. The Committee should look into that. Clause 39 of the Bill, which is the same as Clause 48, says that a person shall not charge or collect any fee for purposes of admitting a child to any public ECDE. This contradicts Clause 33(2)(e), which says that the county government might charge levies. Clause 39(b) of the Bill says that other charges may be imposed in a public education centre with approval of the County Executive Committee, in consultation with the member of the County Education Board. This will be open to abuse. Some of these issues need to be looked at critically."
