Catholic Bishops sound alarm over capitation crisis in schools

The Catholic Church has warned the government to stop playing politics with the future of Kenyan children. The church leaders called out reckless remarks on education funding, especially capitation, and demanded urgent action to protect schools already buckling under financial strain. With the rising education costs, delayed disbursements, and a shrinking support system, the Church says the education sector is on the brink, and it’s the most vulnerable learners who are paying the price.
