Question
The Member for Mathioya (Hon. Edwin Mugo, MP) to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education: - Could the Cabinet Secretary – (i) Explain why there is a delay in distribution of books flagged off on January 27, 2023 for Grade 7/Junior Secondary School Learners in public schools, noting that the books ought to have been distributed by February 17, 2023? (ii) Provide a report detailing the capitation grant received towards purchase of textbooks and the actual amount spent on purchase of textbooks in public secondary schools across the country? (iii) Indicate the strategies the Ministry has put in place if any, to address challenges faced by the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS), expounding on the issue of variance in the number of learners in the system versus the actual learners in certain schools hence reducing capitation in some schools and occasioning over-capitation in others?
