According to the school board of directors, the demand by a section of parents for further fee reduction is based on a misconception that that international schools in Nairobi are in some way benefiting from their physical closure. “As you are aware, contrary to what has been reported in the press, the school had outlined in a previous letter the general fee reduction available to all parents for Term Three tuition. Our fee reduction levels are in line with other major international groups of schools in Nairobi of similar scope despite our superior live virtual learning offering,” the school board says in the letter. So far, the school board says they are yet to declare redundancies because they want “to protect and maintain the quality and ethos of Brookhouse … and to ensure that when the school does reopen our community remains intact”. “Unfortunately, we may need to review these policies in light of the interim court orders,” the school says in the letter.
