By RICHARD MUNGUTI More by this AuthorA private school in Runda was on Thursday ordered by the High Court to cut fees they charge students by 20 percent pending re-opening of schools next year. The judge declined to grant a plea by the parents to pay 50 percent of the fees. He also declined a plea by the school not to interfere with the way it was charging fees since it was a private contract between it and the parents. The school argued that it was offering virtual lessons following the closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The court allowed the parents to use abbreviations (SPG) in the case they filed against SABIS school, the directors of the school, the Attorney-General and the Education minister so as to protect the identity of the students.
