    "content": "We have a report on what was discussed in the conference. We need to ask ourselves what we are doing, as a country, to implement the Education 2030 Framework for Action (FFA) that is before us. Kenya has been spearheading this process in Africa, but most stakeholders in education are not aware of what is happening. I call upon the Chairperson of the Committee to ensure that stakeholders are given information. They should go through this report on what was deliberated on, so that we can deal with the policy gaps that exist between the Education 2030 FFA as well as the Education Sector Plan (ESP) 2013 – 2018. This will enable us to develop strategies that can be used. We have the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Matiang’i who is trying to make the education system in Kenya better. In the recent past Kenya was considered one of the best countries in the region to study in, but we now see many Kenyan students going to Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania for studies. The Ministry of Education, together with the Senate and National Assembly committees on education, need to find out what is not right. One of the recommendations that the Committee on Education came up with from the conference is that the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology should work with UNESCO with regard to teacher training on ICT integration in education. Our children were promised laptops in 2013. We once visited West Pokot and the children, through a song, said that the Government had not given them laptops. It is a big shame that the Jubilee administration has failed to honour a promise they made to the children. Most of us are parents and know the importance of keeping the promises we make to our children."
