• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. If I heard the Attorney-General correctly, he did not say that the Bill is unconstitutional but that the view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just want to notify you that I also have an amendment on Clause 2. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the definition of “National Council for Nomadic Education” by inserting the words “marginalized and” immediately after the word “Council” What I seek to do is to widen the definition of “National Council for Nomadic Education” to include “marginalised” so that it will be “marginalised and nomadic.” view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, they came here late, but I had brought them earlier. I have several amendments in Clause 4. Maybe, I can deal with all of them at the same time. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended- (a) By deleting the word “unfair” appearing immediately after the words “child against” in paragraph (e). (b) By inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (e)- “(ea) protection of the right of every child in a public school to equal standards of education including the medium of instructions used in the schools for all ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Clause 4(f) would read: “Without prejudice to sub-clause (e); advancement and protection of every child to be instructed in the language of his or her choice where this is reasonably practicable”. So, without prejudice to the foregoing. view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, perhaps, what I would clarify is what I have seen as a practice, that when you want to insert a clause in-between and there are already letters, then you double them. Then when the drafters will be looking at them, they will be put sequentially. However, I want to take on what the Chairman is saying and do a further amendment to Clause 4(f) and say “without prejudice to (ee) above.” view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (d)- “(d) putting measures to ensure where applicable transition to the next level of education, especially for the vulnerable and marginalized children.” I am seeking to put measures in place for transition. We have just talked about admission and retention without transition. For vulnerable communities and groups like girls, the issue of transition is usually a problem from one level of education to the other. So, I am seeking to give that ... view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you look at the amendment, the word that makes the difference here is “transition”. I am talking about transition and it is not covered in (d). If we leave out the role of transition without situating it anywhere, then you will not have anybody having that responsibility for transition. It is either the Authority that deals with basic education or secondary education, but because it is a transitional thing, it should be the basic education that has a role. We have not situated it anywhere. So, it is very different from (d). view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended – (a) in sub-clause (2) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (h)- “(i) one person to represent organizations dealing with children’s rights” (b) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (8)- “(8A) in rejecting a nominee or nominees, the Cabinet Secretary shall attach a memorandum indicating the reason for such rejection” view
• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I have several amendments to Clause 10. In Clause 10(i) I am seeking to delete the word “convene”. It says that the Cabinet Secretary shall within 14 days of the occurrence of a vacancy, convene a selection panel. So, I am saying we delete the word “convene” and replace it with the word “appoint” a selection panel for the purposes of selecting; it is not just convening a panel because it is not transparent or open. Then in Clause 10(ii) I wish to amend to include an organization dealing with children’s rights because education is about children. In Clause 10(8) ... view
