    "content": "the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). This gives the national Government and SRC an opportunity to standardise pay for the teachers who work very hard. People might think that ECD teachers do very little, but they do a lot. This standardisation will give them comfort. Free admission under Clause 39 is good to avoid a situation where a county might wake up one day and decide to start charging fees to parents of children who are joining ECD centres. Non-discrimination of whatever form has been provided in the Act in Clause 40. More importantly, the teacher-child ratio has been enacted. It will prevent a situation whereby one teacher will be teaching more children than required. So, the teacher-child ratio shall be determined by the CS, education, in consultation with the TSC and this will improve the quality and efficiency of those learning institutions. The age of four to six years removes a situation whereby baby care or children who are of very minor age are also admitted in ECDs. So, baby care centres have already been cut off from this Act. With those many remarks, I support this Bill. Of course, other amendments will come in due course."
