Nicholas Maiyo, Kenya Parents Association chairman, suggests teachers agree with MoE to approve the extra charges imposed on parents. [File, Standard]The Kenya Parents Association has condemned emerging reports of additional fees imposed on parents by secondary school heads ahead of Form One admission on August 2, saying they should follow the right procedure. The school heads had earlier argued that the ministry’s funding was not enough to improve schools’ infrastructure, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some, though not on record, said the extra money was to build more classes and dormitories for the learner’s comfort. It is only then that we can agree on the way forward because this way, we are hurting the parents,” he remarked.
