Parents of a prestigious school in Mombasa have lost a bid to have the court order reduction of school fees for the virtual learning education (VLE). But Judge Erick Ogola said the court did not have authority to decide how much a private institution should charge as its fees for the programme. He said the parents have so many other options and were at liberty to opt out if not satisfied with the school’s decision. Ogola, however, cautioned the school against using harsh language against the parents who could not pay the required fees. He said it was time for people, including the school management, to be humanly responsible and sympathetic to the parents and generous in demanding the fees.
