"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Education on matters of national concern regarding the continued placement of students to the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services (KUCCPS) and the exclusion of qualified students from diploma medical programmes. The issue has affected thousands of aspiring students from across the country, many of whom hail from marginalized regions and are eager to serve in Kenya’s health sector. However, the rigid and exclusionary placement criteria used by KUCCPS raises concerns regarding fairness and equity alignment with the national healthcare workforce needs. In the statement, the committee should address the following- (1) The framework under which KUCCPS continues to place students to KMTC despite a court order of 24th July, 2018 in Petition No.3 of 2016, which declared such placements null and void and directed that the KMTC should manage its own admissions independently. (2) The rationale behind the exclusion of students who score a mean grade of C plus and above from pursuing diploma medical courses at KMTC even after explicitly applying for them and provide data on the number of such students affected over the past three placement cycles. (3) The justification for placing such students in unrelated degree programmes that they did not apply for after they had been declared ineligible for medical degrees placements. (4) Measures being taken by the Government to ensure that student preferences are respected and that the placement policies will not unjustly limit access to healthcare training opportunities. (5) KMTC institutional capacity and legal autonomy to resume direct admissions to these programmes as directed by the courts. Thank you."

I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Education on a matter of national concern regarding the promotion of 25,252 teachers by the Teacher Service Commission on 2nd April, 2025. In the statement, the committee should address the following issues- (1) The criteria and the methodology that was used by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in selecting teachers for promotion across different counties and whether the criteria upheld the principles of merit, equity and inclusivity. (2) Whether long-serving teachers with higher academic qualifications and graduates were either bypassed while younger teachers with fewer qualifications and years of experience were promoted during the exercise and if so, the justification for the same. (3) The rationale behind the distribution model used, particularly with regard to counties which are densely populated, but receive fewer promotions. (4) Whether a grievance redress and appeal mechanism was put in place for the teachers who felt aggrieved by this promotion process and how many complaints the TSC has received and how many they have resolved up to date. (5) What measures are being implemented by the TSC to promote transparency and accountability to address the long-standing cases of career stagnation of our teachers?"
