    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I support this Motion by Sen. Khaniri. Having been a Minister for Education on two occasions; in 1988 when we established Sessional Paper No.6 of 1988 - then I was in the area of technical training and applied science and technology – and later from 2007 to 2010 when I was able to establish the free day secondary school education after the free primary education was set up in 2003/2007. This is a very important Motion. When you analyse it in full depth, you will soon realise that this country needs to do much more than what is already stipulated in this Motion. Out of the few basics statistics, in 2007/2008, the number of public primary schools was 19,000 and the number of public secondary schools was almost 7,000. The teachers’ shortage at the time when we entered was 70,000. So, when looking at this Motion, first of all, one has to look at the completion rates even in the primary sector itself alone. It was quite apparent to me when I visited various provinces at that time. I went to West Pokot and visited Wei Wei Primary School; a small primary school somewhere in the bush. It is only after visiting there that, that primary school started doing well. I am happy that yesterday when I was having lunch here, one of the students came straight to me and said: “I sang for you at Wei Wei Secondary School, and thank you for The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
