Gov’t denies reducing school capitation

Education Cabinet Secretary Migosi Ogamba has affirmed that the government’s policy on capitation allocation for secondary school students remains unchanged, despite growing concerns over reduced funding at the school level. Addressing the press in Kisii County, CS Ogamba stated that the ministry’s official allocation per student remains at KSh 22,244, the figure set under the Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) programme, but acknowledged budgetary constraints in meeting this figure owing to the increased number of learners. Ogamba is, however, proposing the consolidation of all education bursaries to meet the growing student enrollment.
