    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution provides that every child has a right to free and compulsory basic education; further, aware in addition to providing free and compulsory education the Government is also implementing the free tuition secondary education; appreciating the Government’s policy of achieving 100 per cent transition of pupils from primary to secondary schools; concerned that this policy has resulted in a stretch and strain on school infrastructure and facilities as a result of the large numbers of students admitted in secondary schools; cognizant that this is strong evidence that adequate high quality infrastructure facilities and better instructions improve students’ outcome and reduces dropout rates among other benefits; further, cognizant that day secondary schools could be the key to ensuring widest access of secondary education especially from pupils from humble backgrounds due to their reduced costs in comparison with boarding schools; this House urges the Government to ensure that at least, 70 per cent of the total funds allocated under secondary schools infrastructure improvement programme is allocated to public day secondary schools to cater for improved infrastructure and further that this funds be allocated as capitation grant. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
