A survey conducted by parents of Banda School in Karen, Nairobi, highlights the challenges parents have been facing since the launch of e-learning. The school offered parents a 10 per cent fee reduction, which most parents said they "do not support and/or cannot afford." Those who school their children at Banda pay at least Sh385,000 per term for children in Grade 1 - without online teaching. In their survey recommendation, 78 per cent of Banda parents want the school to lower the cost of online learning by 40 to 50 per cent. Other institutions' proposing fee cuts for online learning include Cavina School, which is offering a 20 per cent cut in the coming term.
