Parents of students in secondary boarding schools in Kenya will not get as much benefit from school fee subsidy programme by the government as earlier expected.
In the school fees details released by the Ministry of Education, the state has increased the capitation fund for secondary boarding schools by Ksh10,000 ($100) to Ksh22,244 ($222) to be paid directly to the school, leaving the parent to pay Ksh53,554($535) — almost equal to what they were paying before.
