Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has issued a fresh directive to parents and local education authorities to have all students who performed well but are unable to join secondary schools of their choice join day schools with immediate effect. Speaking in Isinya, Kajiado County, on Saturday, May 21, the CS argued that lack of school fees should not be a reason preventing parents from admitting them to high schools. He noted that if parents lacked school fees to take their children to boarding schools, they should instead transfer them to day schools near them. He further revealed that the state was providing free education in daily secondary schools and urged the parents to take advantage of that. “All education officials must mop up all students and take them to the nearest day schools because they are absolutely free, the government has catered for free secondary education and all a child needs, is uniform," he stated.
