The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers is warning of a looming financial crisis in public schools, due to massive cuts to the 2025/2026 education budget. With a staggering Sh62 billion shortfall, the government has defunded key areas, including school feeding programs, national examinations, and teacher recruitment. KUPPET terms this as part of a disturbing three-year trend of shrinking investment in education, despite official promises of reform and expansion. The union now warns that without urgent intervention, the country’s entire public education system risks grinding to a halt.
