The new secondary school fees structure announced by Kaimenyi meet resistance from KNUT

Hardly a week since the new secondary school structure was announced by Cabinet Secretary for Education Mr. Kaimenyi, The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) is now opposing the new secondary fees structure development claiming that apart from disrupting affected schools budget KNUT was not consulted.

KNUT is requesting the Education CS to convene a meeting of school managers to iron out contentious issues that rose with the announcement of the new secondary school fees structure.

In the new secondary fees structure, the Education CS reduced secondary school fees that is to be spread across three terms on a 50:30:20 ratio, with day scholars to pay sh9,374, special needs scholars sh37,210 and sh53,553 for boarders respectively.

KNUT argues that the new fees will force schools to scale down services to students in order to fit the new directive which KNUT claims is unworkable
