Education CS George Magoha has announced a reduction in secondary school fees due to the short nature of the 2021 school calendar. National schools will pay Sh8,500 less while Extra-County and County schools will pay Sh5,500 less. If implemented, the directive will mean National Schools will now pay Sh45,054 while the Extra County and County schools will pay Sh35,035. “I want to make it clear that primary schools and day secondary schools are free in case of any charge, it should be approved and voluntary,” the CS said. They will get full school fees paid, uniforms, transport, pocket money, and school kit with basic requirements.
