According to Mr Sossion, the Bridge schools which have a population of close to 100 000 students have designed hidden methods to get money from the unsuspecting parents. “These Bridge Schools are not out to help the children but are designed for profit. The Education ministry should ensure that all children in slums are catered for by the government,” Mr Sossion said. Secretary General Wilson Sossion said the education ministry should close the more than 400 low-cost slum schools which he claimed are a profit-making venture instead of operating as charity organisations. The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) has demanded for the closure of Bridge International Schools in the country for allegedly exploiting the public.
