    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding a policy by the TSC to only promote teachers in Job Group ―M‖ and ―N‖ respectively to headship in primary and secondary schools. In the statement the Committee should- (1) Clarify whether such a policy exists in the TSC; and if so, state when the policy was passed, indicating whether there was adequate stakeholder engagement and public participation in its formulation and implementation. (2) Explain how the promotion exercise will be conducted in counties in hardship areas, particularly in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) areas, which have few teachers generally and even fewer teachers in the mentioned job groups without perpetuating further marginalisation on these particular regions. (3) Explain what affirmative action measures the TSC has put in place to ensure that marginalised communities are not marginalised further by the said policy. (4) Explain the measures that the national Government has put in place to address the fate of thousands of competent and hardworking teachers who have stagnated in lower grades for many years, as well as the general lack of transparency surrounding the promotions by TSC."
