    "content": "NOTING WITH CONCERN that due to security and other related concerns, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), which is the body responsible for the employment and deployment of teachers has in the recent past taken steps to transfer non-local teachers from the northern region, especially, North Eastern to other parts of the country; CONCERNED that the transfers have led to shortage of skilled teachers, which has been a major cause of the dismal performance in examinations by the schools in the region; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate tasks the Standing Committee on Education to conduct an inquiry into the challenges facing the education sector in northern Kenya, especially, in North Eastern with a view to:- (1) Evaluating the effect of the teachers’ transfers from the region and recommending to the Ministry of Education, policy measures to address the challenges. (2) Evaluating the status of education infrastructure in the region and proposing solutions to mitigate the current and looming challenges. (3) Proposing mechanisms for enhanced resource allocation at both levels of government to facilitate and improve education facilities. (4) Assessing school intake and completion levels in the region in order to ascertain the impact of the challenges facing the schools and how this disadvantages the region compared to other parts of Kenya and proposing ways of addressing the challenges. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
