    "content": "even Class Eight and the school has not been registered. In such situations, the candidates are transferred to another school to sit for their examinations. That is psychologically and mentally torturous to the students. We should not subject our learners to the mental torture of being transferred to another school, when they are candidates who are supposed to prepare adequately to pass their examinations. In such situations, the school will not deliver as expected. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is important for schools to be registered so that they also benefit from affirmative action. Right now, there are schools that get sanitary pads for the girls, books and many other things from the Government. However, if a school is not registered with the TSC, it will not benefit from this, which is wrong. This also includes capitation. There are some schools, like the one that was mentioned by a Senator, which are in rural Kenya. I want to believe that even the parents themselves are straining to get school fees. If the parents are straining to put food on the table, they will certainly not invest in their children’s education. If the Government does not give capitation to these children, they will always be in and out of schools. As a result, they will not deliver or perform well. They will be left behind. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the sustainable goals that all nations are looking at is inclusive education for all. We cannot achieve this if we are not keen about the quality of our learners and the registration of schools for learners. Therefore, this will lead to stagnation. There is need for a mechanism to be put in place to ensure that when our schools apply for registration, it is fast-tracked, so that we do not stagnate in education in this country. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice."
