    "content": " Yes. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended by⎯ (a) in the definition of the term “Education Appeals Tribunal” by deleting the expression “section 92 and substituting therefor the expression “section 93”; (b) deleting the definition of the term “pupil”; and, (c) inserting the following new definition in their proper alphabetical sequence⎯ “children with special needs” means children in need of special needs education; “learner” has the meaning assigned to it in the Teachers Service Commission Act; “special needs education” has the meaning assigned to it in the Basic Education Act; “village administrator” means the office of a village administrator established in Section 52 of the County Governments Act.” The import of this amendment is that it is important to align the use of the terms in the Bill to those of general definitions applied within the education sector as well as within the various legislations within the education sector. The amendment, therefore, seeks to align the terms “learner” and “special needs education” to the Basic Education Act No.14 of 2013. The amendment also serves the purpose of correcting a referencing error. I thank you."
