Clause 13 of the Bill on readmission of a pregnant child into an institution and basic education provides that an institution of basic education shall not discriminate against a child who falls pregnant while in school or who is readmitted in school and shall put in place measures to ensure the reintegration of the child back into the school. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Clause 15 of the Bill on the obligation of the institutions of the basic education provides that an institution of the basic education shall- (a) allow a child who falls pregnant while in school to continue with classes for as long as possible prior to delivery; (b) counsel the child and her parents or guardians on the importance of ensuring good outcome of the pregnancy by attending antenatal clinic and ensuring safe delivery and the possibilities of continuing with education after delivery; (c) provide academic support, parenting and life skills classes and strategies to prevent unplanned pregnancy; and, (d) assist pregnant and parenting students to gain access to affordable child care facilities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Part IV of the Bill provides a detailed framework of the establishment of childcare centres within the counties. In particular, Clause 21 of the Bill provides that each county government shall, by a legislation, set out the criteria for the registration of a care centre within the respective county. Nowadays, the care centres are just opened the way people feel like. Most of them are opened because they want to get money very fast. Meanwhile, they mistreat the children who are at the care centres. Information required to be submitted by an applicant for registration is not well provided. With regard to the process of determination of an application for registration of a care centre, it sets out the conditions for the issuance of a license under this Act, the grounds and the process of rejecting an application or cancelling a license issued under this Act or the process of issuance of a license to an applicant for the management of the care centre. The Bill also talks about the process for the application of the renewal of licenses; deregistration and revocation of the license issued to an applicant under this Act. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Part V of the Bill further sets out the criteria for the care of child parent within a care centre. The Bill provides for the establishment of a system for sharing with parents’ information on matters that may affect the child care in the care centre. Part VI of the Bill provides for regular inspection and evaluation of safety in a care centre to ensure that a care centre maintains promises that meets the requirements of the occupational health, safety regulations and building standards and safeguards the welfare and safety of the children within the care centre. The Bill further provides for transition of existing care centres that are currently registered under the Children Act, 2001 to be considered as registered under the Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Bill provides a framework for the implementation of the rights to education for all children, including child parents.
