• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: We did realize that even out of these, there are children that require one teach per child. While we are talking about one teacher to 25 children in ECDE centres, in special schools, they do require one teacher to one child based on the account of the disability. If these centres are established, they will go a long way in ensuring that these children get the right teachers in the right ratios. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, assessments that come out of these centers will also assist in purchase of the aids that shall be used in the various schools. This is because of the fact that we need to know what materials need to be placed in the various specialized centres. We may equip the special, or integrated schools with materials. The question is: What kind of material are we giving them? view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Another very important issue around this is that if these centres will be established and made operational, it will go a long way to ensure that the special needs children shall also acquire education. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: We have been speaking all along about issues of inclusivity. The BBI itself is speaking a lot about inclusivity. In this case, if that Bill passes, we want to talk about view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: inclusivity, not only in the political arena, but even in terms of employment, education and every other area because these children who have got challenges, normally delay in joining school. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, without proper identification and placement in the right schools, the net effect is that eventually these children do not get any gainful education. They miss out on the decision making table. They miss out even in job opportunities and eventually we speak of marginalization round the circle. In this case, for many years, we will be speaking about marginalization. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, even in terms of tenders, we have been talking about tenders in the counties. We have been talking about 5 per cent of them be given to youths, women and Persons with Disability (PWDs). They should be given the right education and research centres established to place them in the right education sector so that come the future, they are well educated and can even understand what tenders are. What happens is that they miss out on these tenders because they are poverty-stricken and uneducated. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: These children are normally neglected. They are even isolated to the extent of not getting into any gainful employment. Even in these tenders, they can do some businesses. However, they will not be able to access these if you do not bring them on board in the early days of their lives. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: We are talking about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 4, which is provision of all-inclusive, equitable and quality education by the year 2030. We are sharing that all governments are committed to this. We have already formed an imminent association of parliamentarians across the world to ensure that this SDGs No.4 is implemented. view
