The details are contained in the same guidelines document spelling out fees payable in secondary schools starting January. According to the guidelines, no fees have been levied on day secondary schools.
Parents will not pay any money for children admitted to secondary schools but they will be required to settle all outstanding fees balances. The circular states that the Government will pay Ksh 22,244 per secondary school student in both day and boarding schools.
This means each day school students will get an additional Ksh 9,374 on top of the Ksh 12,870 they receive presently. This adjustment effectively caters for all day secondary school fees. The maximum fees payable for boarding schools will be Ksh 53,000 after a Government subsidy per child, per year.
National and extra-county schools in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu and Eldoret will be covered under this rate. Fees for other boarding schools have been set at Ksh 40,545.
Why are the fees not stated whether its per year or per term?
How I wish if it was true,some boarding schools even increased the fees with amount equal to what the govt increased as capitation.
am praying for the free education to start imediatly, so as to give somebody like me to be able to find way back to school, mr. president go on, naingoja sana
what about activity fees will the government pay or parents also in medical sector why the government give parents hard time to pay also.
