    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, who is also away on sabbatical leave, for the information. We are all in agreement. The feedback that the Ministry has given is that the proportion of funding and injecting to motivate teachers has not been addressed. This is the broader issue of policy that had not been raised in the initial question. I, therefore, propose that as an additional follow up, we ask the Ministry to give us the direct policy on how promotions are going to be done because it is very frustrating for those who got a grade of C- and below. Those are the ones who went up to 2014. After 2014, it has been only C+ and above. There are those who scored a mean grade of C-before 2014. However, there are various system for bridging that have been put into place. As we discuss the issue of qualifications here and in political circles, we are looking at qualifications for degree. There are currently opportunities to upgrade and bridge, some people do not go to the details of that bridging and what it means. When teachers go for extra courses and spend their money, it is only proper that they are refunded in one way or another. It will be good for the Ministry to put in place mechanisms to ensure that happens. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, at the University of Nairobi (UoN), there are cases where you go and study and when you come back with your PhD, you go back to the same grade you were in until you publish because that is the specification. We should therefore have a policy shift that does not have to do directly with your performance and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
