    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 46 of the Bill be amended⎯ (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the word “pupil” and substituting therefor the word “learner”; and, (b) by deleting sub-clause (3) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause⎯ “(3) A head teacher or a member of the board of management of a public education centre who imposes a charge or causes any parent or guardian to pay tuition fees commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand shillings or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or to both.” The import of this amendment is that the Bill seeks to conform the term “learner” as it is used in various legislations in the education sector. The amendment also seeks to ensure that the head-teacher and the entire board of management shall bear the responsibility in the event of the unlawful imposition of tuition fees in respect of early childhood education."
