    "content": "Long ago, we had a programme where every primary school was supposed to develop a pre-primary school in its compound. This was to ensure that there was continuity from the lower to the upper classes, so that the children could adapt to the environment in those areas. The national Government is in a better position to handle the development that is required for the children because it has statistics. It is in a position to know how many children have been born in an area and how many pre-primary schools are required to cope with the population of those children. As it is right now, with no statistics, county governments would perhaps put up only one pre-primary class or school in one whole ward which does not add up. With all these, we can see that there is a great need for this level of education to be brought under the national Government, so that everything moves in concurrence until one gets out of school. A proper learning environment is enhanced with a good learning atmosphere, learning materials and teachers who are also accommodative, have love and are not recruited because they have no other jobs to do and perhaps receive meagre pay as their salaries. With the problems that they have, they cannot impart good knowledge and training to the children who need those services at this stage. With those few observations, I support this Bill that pre-primary, nursery or early childhood education should be transferred to the national Government."
