A new Bill seeking to regulate nursery school education has already been debated by Senate [PHOTO: GIDEON MAUNDU/STANDARD]A new law proposes a Sh100,000 fine or one year in jail for parents who fail to enroll children above three years in school. The County Early Childhood Education Bill also seeks to seal all the loopholes offending parents or guardians use to avoid sending their children to school as soon as they turn three. If passed, the proposed law will reform nursery schools hitherto characterised by high fees, unqualified teachers and unclear education standards. Overall disciplinary function over all nursery school teachers will be left to TSC, who will also instill professional controls.
