• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: education will be at the Global Summit which is a collaboration of the UK Government and Kenya to ensure that countries rally behind the issue of leaving no one behind. Specifically, this Bill is very objective in the fact that it is addressing SDG 4 3 that targets higher learning and vocational education. When it comes to SDG 4, we are talking of equal access to affordable, technical education. When we talk of SDG 4, we are talking of free primary education so that both boys, girls and children with disabilities are able to access free primary education. We are ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: inclusive process is one that ensures that even learners with disabilities who are talented have their talents nurtured. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, learners with disabilities who can propel the economy of this country should be given a chance because they are not always given a chance. Sometimes learners are pushed to do academics when in the actual sense, they can very well do economics and become employers. I have seen people who are plumbers. You will find that one plumber has very many people who are working under him. In that case, they create employment. Someone may have a salon, ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: However, when it comes to implementation, it has to be the business of the county government. This Bill brings in the aspect that the county governments must know the centers that are registered in their counties and how many they are. The county government also needs to know the people who are training and whether they have qualifications. They need to have a monitoring method of ensuring that the vocational centers are doing what they are supposed to do. When it comes to matters education, they are not matters that you can leave for everyone. Remember that all of us ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: On county development funds, since this Bill is in the docket of the county governments, it will ensure they have a program for vocational training. It will also ensure that county governments are also setting aside money to ensure this program runs. There is going to be capacity building and awareness from the county level. Counties will also ensure that all the Community Based Organization (CBOs) registered there are also obliging to inclusivity. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: That means that all counties must set aside a reasonable amount of money in their budgets for the progression of vocational training. As they set money aside, county governments will also need to specifically set money to ensure learners with disabilities are being included in the training centres thus maintaining inclusivity. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: We met county executives from 14 counties and took them through this Bill. We were able to identify the lacuna that is there in some counties because in some counties they had no preparation for learners with disabilities and the girl child even at the training level. When they came before us, we put them to task and obligated them to commit to doing something about the lacuna we had identified. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Regarding exiting to the world of work, there was a proposition we were making that county governments should make vocational training attractive because there are some children who opt not to go for it. Some of the issues that came up were that there are some learners who do not want to attend vocational training even though the centres are there. This attitude must be changed by the county governments. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: How are they going to change it? It is by convincing the learners that they are going to have jobs once they are through with training. We proposed that county governments should also prepare a strategy of ensuring that there is industrial attachment given to trainees. That must be a prerequisite before they complete vocational training. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: County governments need to provide resources for attachment. While the vocational centre is still running, there are some materials and equipment that county governments should procure. Our humble suggestion is that county executives give priority to learners from vocational centres. That will give them hope, for example, that when they are doing plumbing work that they can be incorporated in the county government and be given jobs. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, after teachers have trained, they have a Teachers Service Commission (TSC) registration number which is used during employment. Employment may take five, ten of fifteen years but there is hope when it comes and they may be lucky enough to get a job.
