The secondary school head teachers have accused the state of failing to release the full capitation thus compromising the standard of education.
The Public Accounts Committee has questioned the reliability of learner enrolment data used by the Government to allocate billions of shillings in education capitation.
Government releases Sh18.5b capitation, primary education to get Sh1.4b, Junior Schools Sh6.1b and Senior Schools Sh10.9b, Education CS Ogamba says.
President William Ruto has announced that the government has released Sh18 billion in capitation funds to ensure seamless learning as schools open for the third term.
The Ministry of Education has admitted that persistent delays in capitation disbursements and chronic underfunding are pushing learning institutions into financial crisis.
School principals have called for a significant increase in secondary school fees, citing rising operational costs, delayed government capitation and inadequate funding.
