    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I second the Bill that has been ably presented to us by my Chairperson. I have various reasons why I feel this Bill needs to be supported. First of all, it brings life to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, building a very clear link between early childhood and the other sectors of education. Early childhood education is one area that has been living like an orphan, being treated differently by individuals and by institutions and even by Government departments that handle the sector. The Bill brings light to this sector in different ways. For one, it provides a comprehensive framework that should guide the running of early childhood education. It also gives provision on how quality should be improved in this segment of the education sector. It especially removes the abuses that the sector has been experiencing due to lack of a clear framework. As a nation, if we have to succeed, we must begin from the foundation that we give to our children. The Bill, therefore, provides a very clear foundation in terms of how our children can access education. This will remove the barriers that have been preventing the little ones from accessing education. It also clearly stipulates what it means for a centre to qualify as an ECD centre, both in terms of human resource and governance.
