• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: some bargaining power. Across the country, you might find as many salary structures for ECD teachers as there are 47 counties. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: We need to have a structure like that of the TSC, where we know that P1 teacher starts with salary scale ‘A’ and after such a period of time they move to salary scale ‘B’. In the current situation, you find that an ECDE teacher earns only Kshs6,000 with neither annual leave nor work structure yet you find one teacher taking care of 50 children. This situation must be addressed. There should be a mechanism for linking TSC, the Ministry of Education and the county governments. In current structure, the Ministry of Education mans the administrative bit of school while ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I went to a certain school in my constituency. We were to meet the teachers and the students to talk to them but the ECDE class was left out. So, I asked them why they were not coming. They told me that that was a county government class. I told them that they were also pupils of this school and they must come and listen to what we are saying. Therefore, that disconnect has been there. This Bill needs to cure that problem through amendments that will be brought during the Committee of the whole House. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with the idea of giving the county governments the onus of putting up structures such as classrooms, but the personnel should come from the TSC. If need be, even the classrooms need to be done in such a way that they are uniform across the county or school so that some are not done haphazardly, as is happening. The ECDE classrooms are poorly done in schools. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: On the issue of opening schools, I appreciate that the Chair has indicated we will need to accredit schools. We will have to identify where to open schools and which school is ripe for opening. We need to ensure that we have the correct structures, and that safety matters have been taken care of. Health matters and all other issues that need to be looked into will have to be addressed before we open a school. Currently, ECDE classrooms are mushrooming all over. You find somebody residing behind a shop or a kiosk, or somewhere behind a church building, and ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: They need to be taken care of very carefully before they grow up and become strong enough to go out there and do their own things. More so, they need space for playing. Children do not require a football field; they need a place where they can play. There should be such facilities. That is the way we can model our children and bring them up knowing that they had a very good foundation. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Let me conclude by saying that ECDE teachers must be taken care of, respected and remunerated just like any other teachers because they lay the learning foundation of our children. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. According to the Constitution, every child has a right to free and compulsory education in this country. This Bill has come at the right time when there is no law which is governing early childhood education. So, it means that every child will be catered for. During the implementation, every child will benefit. Since early childhood education is managed by the county governments, it is good to note that in most of the early childhood education centres in our constituencies – and this is happening all over the ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: where no public primary school exists. So, it is also good for the county governments to take this seriously and provide enough land for those institutions. The Ministry concerned should work hand-in-hand with the county governments to ensure that this Bill has been implemented fully. When we pass these laws, they are not taken seriously. It is high time for the Government to be serious on this because these Bills will help us to ensure that education in the Republic of Kenya is of good quality. In some of those early childhood centres, there is no seriousness in the implementation ... view
