    "content": "whose lives have been ruined by lack of registration when they are about to sit for their exams. We have had a case where children in the past have gone to do an exam and they find that they cannot sit an exam because in that school, they have not even been registered. The reason being that the school was not registered. This is disastrous for our children. I think that this registration issue should be taken seriously. Registration of a school comes with a lot of advantages. There was a time when we tried to claim land that was meant for a school and we realized that the first thing that one must do is to show that they are a registered school in order to claim and own the land that the school sits on. There is no way that one can say that they own land when they are not a registered entity. There are other benefits that come with registration and schools that have not registered miss out a lot. Our children even miss out on infrastructure that they are entitled to. This is because for one to get money for infrastructure, one of the qualifications is that they must have certain acreage of land to qualify to build a school. This means that if you do not have that acreage and are squeezing in a small area, then you also do not have the necessary infrastructure that is required for the school. If we register schools, we will be able to check on the quality of the infrastructure and education and at the end of the day, it will have an impact on how our children are learning. I support this because registration of schools will also stop the rampant land grabbing that is in this country. Grabbing goes on when the grabbers know that a school is not properly registered, thus, they cannot prove that they own that land. This will go a long way to improve on the quality of education and it will also improve the infrastructure that a school can set up. If our schools are not registered, then how do we look at the ratio of the schools against the population that is available? How do we provide for the necessary school ratio that we need in a county or a constituency so as to give accessibility to our children? This means that we start from up instead of starting from down. If you know that you have schools that are enough for a certain area, you will then go for the quality but we will not control the quality if we do not control the ratio. We will not even have proper accessibility to these schools if we do not know the kind of schools that we have and how many they are. I do support."
