    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House notes the Report of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on its consideration of the Revised Sessional Paper No.1 of 2019 on the Policy Framework for Reforming Education and Training for Sustainable Development in Kenya, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 17th September 2019 and adopts the Revised Sessional Paper No.1 of 2019 on the Policy Framework for Reforming Education and Training for Sustainable Development in Kenya. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I move this, I want to pass my condolences to the families of the eight young children who perished when a school collapsed. These are some of the things that we, as the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, have attempted to address several times. One of them is schools’ safety and security for our students. The circumstances under which the young souls passed on is very untenable, uncalled for and is as a result of lack of enforcement of Government policies and laid down laws and procedures on construction and establishment of schools. Education is one of the fundamental factors of development in any country. To achieve sustainable economic development without substantial investment in human capital is not possible. Yesterday, this country woke up to a sad day. It was sad because it was on that early morning that as we moved on as a country, lives of innocent young children were lost because of negligence by the owner of the school. It is negligence by the quality assurance and standards officers of education and by the inability to ensure that children are safe. This Sessional Paper No.1 of 2019 is a policy framework on how to reform education for the years to come. It was committed to our Committee on 14th March 2019. The Sessional Paper provides a framework for delivery of inclusive, equitable, quality and relevant education, and training for the whole country. It promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all. The Paper aligns education, training and research to the Constitution and harmonises policies and strategies The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
