Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 41 of the Bill be amended— (a) in Sub-clause (2) by deleting the word “principal” wherever it appears and substituting therefor the word “head teacher” (b) in Sub-clause (3) by— (i) deleting the word “principal” and substituting therefor the word “head teacher”; (ii) inserting the words “passport or any other recognised identification document” immediately after the words “birth certificate”; (c) by deleting sub-clause (4).

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 43 of the Bill be deleted. We are justifying that the grouping of children in a school be left upon the teacher or the education centre to assess the pupils’ abilities and select a mode of grouping them. Earlier, they wanted to set criteria for grouping children based on a standard, but the teachers are well trained; they know the abilities of the pupils. They can group as per age or as per what the teacher deems fit. So, that clause should be deleted. Thank you.

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: - THAT, Clause 44 of the Bill be amended— (a) by deleting sub-clause (1); (b) in sub-clause (2) by deleting the word “child” and substituting therefor the word “pupil”. This means the incentives may be given to pupils, but this needs not be mandated upon the teachers or the school by law. We cannot set a standard of incentives. An incentive can be given based on the will and the ability of the school to give. We cannot set a standard that every school should give a particular incentive of a certain level.

Let me make it clear for the Member that we are actually trying to bring clarity. The provision is a repetition of sub-clause (1). Earlier on, we carried out amendments to ensure that no other bodies are involved in curriculum review and development apart from the KICD. However, in this case, those other bodies or stakeholders will be involved. In sub-clause (1), we had indicated that only the KICD would be carrying out the review process. The other bodies would not be part of the review process.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: - THAT, Clause 47 of the Bill be deleted. This is to ensure that the aspects of standards and procedures of curriculum development fall under the purview of the KICD. Earlier on, I alluded to the fact that we do not want other bodies to carry out curriculum review. We want a centralised body to carry out that function, but in consultation with other stake holders across the country.
