"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the recognition and inclusion of the Madrasa Education System within the Kenya National Qualifications Framework (KNQF) and its consideration in university admission criteria. Thousands of students in Kenya undergo a 12-year Madrasa Education System. However, upon completion, they are unable to transition to higher education in Kenya due to the lack of a policy framework linking their education to university admission requirements. As a result, many are forced to seek further education in countries such as Sudan, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, Somalia and Saudi Arabia, which is an expensive and inaccessible option to many. Consequently, a significant number of students never realise their dreams of higher education, while some who study abroad do not return to contribute to Kenya’s development. The Commission for University Education (CUE) has accredited Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies and Bachelor of Arts in Sharia in select Islamic universities in Kenya, among many other courses. However, without formal recognition of the Madrasa Education System within the KNQF, students cannot equate their prior learning for admission into these programmes. Furthermore, this affects the growth and expansion of Islamic universities in Kenya. Hon. Speaker, Section 95(2)(e) of the Basic Education Act, Cap. 211, provides for the operationalisation of the Madrasa System within the basic education framework to improve The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
