The Government will now collect school fees directly from Parents in the latest move to control school finances.
The Ministry of Education has directed all schools to fill out fee declaration forms and submit them to the Ministry headquarters by February 9, 2024.
In a notice on Friday, February 2, Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang said the declaration forms must be countersigned by the Sub County Director of Education.
PS Kipsang noted that the forms must be submitted in both soft and hard copies to the Ministry headquarters.
The Education PS also noted that the lunch program for day secondary schools is optional and no learner should be denied schooling for failure to pay the same.
Kipsang further directed all secondary schools to adhere to the authorized fees structure under Kenya Gazette Notice No. 1555 of March, 2015 payable in the spread ratio of 50 percent 30 percent, and 20 percent in the first term, second term, and third term respectively.
