Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers now wants the ministry to reinstate school fees which was reduced during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

KUPPET secretary general Akello Misori said most boarding schools are now struggling to deal with tough economic times.<\/p>\n

In July 2021, Magoha announced a reduction in secondary school fees due to the short nature of the 2021 school calendar.<\/p>\n

National schools now pay Sh8,500 less while Extra-County and County schools pay Sh5,500 less.<\/p>\n

The directive meant National Schools would pay Sh45,054 while the Extra County and County schools pay Sh35,035.<\/p>\n

“Prices of cereals, other foodstuffs and essentials like cooking oil have more than doubled over the last years alone,” Misori said.<\/p>\n

He urged the government to come in and rescue, especially boarding schools which have to provide accommodation and meals in schools.<\/p>\n

Misori noted that the increased price of commodities is affecting even boarding school management.<\/p>\n

“In light of current economic conditions, the government must urgently provide new guidelines on school fees to avoid any misunderstanding between stakeholders in education,” he added.<\/p>\n
