    "content": ". This eats into their teaching time. Teachers should be supported fully if we must get quality education. We should have proper infrastructure in schools, so that teachers can concentrate on giving quality education. This will improve the livelihoods of Kenyans because we will equip our children at the early stages. It is very important to have bursars to manage our finances. Bursars will be creative. They will have Budgets for various activities in schools, including for the repair of classrooms. This will improve performances in our schools because teachers will concentrate on their core function, which is training and teaching our young people. We should also look at the challenges that schools have faced since the implementation of the FPE Programme. We can then task the bursars to look for solutions to these challenges. I want to agree with Hon. Okoth that some schools do not have big populations. We should look for ways of countering such when we employ bursars. Some of them will be idle. We must have proper structures, so that in such situations, one bursar is allocated two or three schools to manage. The Kshs1,420 capitation per student is very low. If we must improve the quality of education and give the bursars work, the Government must increase that amount to about Kshs2,000 per pupil because the cost of education has also gone up. I think the issue of registration of schools has been put on a standstill for now, yet we have so many children who are joining these schools. Therefore, I urge the Government to look into that issue. More schools should be registered, so that we have enough schools that will take care of our children."
