    "content": "I want to follow-up on the registration of students in the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS). I have realised that the challenge we have currently is the low registration of students in NEMIS. What contributes to the low disbursement of funds on the same? I do not know whether the Cabinet Secretary is aware that day schools have now reviewed their school fees upwards. It used to be an average of Ksh8,000 and Ksh10,000, but it is now between Ksh12,000 and Ksh15,000! The reason behind it is that they cannot foot the cost. The capitation they receive is way below that they cannot manage the operational cost. I want to know the alternative mechanism we will have because we are being faced with challenges in registration. We have touched on counselling. I would also like to talk about the management of the institutions. We have the boards of management (BOM) which manages the schools. There are schools that have retained them for decades. They are now indirectly meddling in the management of the schools and are running them down. What is the plan of the Ministry to ensure that we either retrain, rotate or change them? For instance, when the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Committee decides to adopt the labour-based model, we are just wondering how that money will be absorbed."
