• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (ii) When districts are left with schools that are not performing, stakeholders are urged to mobilize resources with a view to raising standards in such schools. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (iii) The Ministry has a policy of disbursing laboratory equipment grants to public schools in each district, so as to ensure that schools' standards are improved. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (b) Rapogi Boys', Ulanda Girls' and Kanga high schools are provincial secondary schools. Thus, they must reflect the interests of Nyanza Province, besides other provinces in the country. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: With the current allocation formula to provincial schools, 60 per cent should be interests from within the district where that school is, 35 per cent from the province and 5 per cent nationally. Those schools are allocated the largest portion of 60 per cent from within the district. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Admission of an extra class to cater for the interests of Migori District will imply overstretching the facilities that the school already has. So, that makes it difficult. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: District schools are the only ones that are allowed to admit the entire lot from within the district. Otherwise, for the above schools to be allowed to admit within the district, it would mean downgrading them from provincial to district schools, which is not very good. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Lastly, guidelines on Form I admission are clear. They show how the admission should be carried out for the three categories of public secondary schools; that is, national, provincial and district. It is a Government policy not to allow national and provincial schools to admit a class that will only accommodate the needs of the district where it is located. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I have given him an answer. The Ministry will chip in, in the form of infrastructure funds, for building labs. The Ministry will chip in, in form of teachers. That is if you have registered the schools. Otherwise, we have devolved funds in form of Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and Local Authorities Transfer Fund which can help in upgrading the standard of education in your constituency. Use those funds. We shall also come in if you put up a new school. view
