    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that according to available data from the country’s education sector, a huge percentage of students who sit for Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education do not transition to university to pursue degree courses; further aware that technical skills and knowledge are fundamental in every profession; concerned that despite the importance of technical and vocational training in teaching necessary skills and building adequate human capital to achieve and sustain the country and its uptake is slow; cognisant that promotion of technical and vocational education and skills alongside academics provides a mix of professionals and skills that the economy requires to create balanced manpower requirements; recognising that Article 55 of the Constitution requires the State to take measures to ensure youths access relevant education and training; appreciating the Government’s policy of achieving 100 per cent of pupils from primary to secondary schools which has seen a huge increase in enrolment in secondary schools; this House resolves that the Government puts in place policy measures to ensure 100 per cent transition from secondary to tertiary education. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
