A student who scored 378 marks in this year’s KCPE exam in Baringo county might miss admission to a national school in Makueni for lack of school fees. “Despite many challenges, the boy scored high marks,” institution director Elijah Chirchir said on Friday. Ekuwam, a small-holder farmer and mother of five, said she would have wanted to pay Kiprop’s school fees but her two daughters are in high school. Ekuwam said she struggled to raise Sh2,600 every term to put Kiprop in a private school from Standard 6. The boy’s father said he is happy with Kiprop’s achievement but he is unable to raise his son’s school fees.
