Govt admits education funding crisis as capitation becomes unsustainable

The treasury now states that the government is unable to fully fund education in the country, as a cash crisis in the education sector deepens, with schools receiving less capitation than was disbursed last year. The parliamentary education committee raised questions as to why the 22,000 shillings budgeted for capitation in secondary schools was not reaching schools, but instead only 16,900 per student. MPs also raised questions about the disbursement of money to ghost schools.
