Learning to Be Paralysed Even as Schools Resume Next Week
Principals of secondary schools have expressed concern that learning would be interrupted if the government does not give adequate funding for capitation.
The chairman of the Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA), Kahi Indimuli, was speaking at a conference for teachers that was held in Mombasa on Tuesday, June 27. He stated that the situation was so terrible that even purchasing food for kids had become a challenge.
According to Kahi, “Capitation is the most significant obstacle that we face at this time.”
The chairperson of KESSHA raised concerns about the method that the government uses to finance free secondary education, which is based on a ratio of 50:30:20 for the first, second, and third terms respectively.

He stated that the government had not yet finished allocating the whole sum of 22,244 shillings for some of the terms.
Because of a switch in the model that is based on the quota system, we have not been receiving it. According to him, the majority of educational institutions are dependent on the benevolence of the vendors that provide services to schools and then wait for payment.
