“We had made our proposals to the ministry over the issue of revising fee structure. We are yet to get any response. We will not charge any extra levy but this is something that the ministry should consider immediately,” said Mr Indimuli.
Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) Secretary General Akello Misori asked the Government to disburse the funds to enable head teachers plan early and avoid sending students back home.
Akello noted that last term, some 200 schools were left out due to delayed registration on Nemis.
“The ministry (intended to) register about 8.5 million students but only managed 3.2 million. The schools that were left out should get the disbursement including for this term,” said Mr Misori.
If approved, fees in extra-county schools will go up by 17,773, pushing the annual cost to Sh80,452, up from the current Sh62,679.
Parents with children in national schools will fork out an additional Sh15,848, raising the annual fees to Sh91,646. The current annual fees in national schools is capped at Sh75,798.
