Secondary schools might be forced to close ahead of schedule as the government has not released the full capitation funds due to schools for this year. The Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (KESSHA) has now sounded an alarm, saying schools are unable to purchase the necessary supplies for the forthcoming Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations and end-of-year examinations for learners in other classes. “There’s already a serious financial crisis in schools and it is not possible to complete the term, if the remaining capitation is not released. It is unfortunate that school staff will have to go without salaries. Mr Kuria said if the remaining capitation is not released staff employed by the schools will proceed to the long holidays without salaries.
