    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would like to support the Statement and look forward to getting the response from the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Education. The truth of the matter is that the 100 per cent transition has failed. This is because the statistics on the ground show that there are so many students who have not reported to secondary school since they were opened. In my county, for example, there are more than 500 students who have not reported because there are not enough places. Secondly, the thrust of 100 per cent transition was that the students would transit from class eight to form one without paying a single coin. However, when they are asked to pay some fees, then definitely some of them, who cannot afford even uniform, will not transit as envisaged by the Government. This 100 per cent transition is likely to fail the same way transition to vocational training and institutes of technology has failed. We have many students who have not reported to training institutes because the Government had promised to give them loans and bursaries. They are being sent away after reporting because they do not have money to pay for their fees. A good example is Coast Institute of Technology where I mobilized more the 200 students to report. However, they were sent back home because the Government did not give capitation to the college. These students are being sent away from colleges because there is no money to sustain them."
