    "content": "The capitation that is given to junior secondary schools is about Ksh15,740. There is no requirement for parents to pay more than that because that is what we normally provide for. The headteachers are not allowed to charge extra levies. We have policies along with issued guidelines and circulars to that effect. Where a head teacher or a principal is found to have flouted the rule and is levying illegal levies, action is taken against them on a case-to-case basis. It is not a Government policy that they charge or ask for more money. I welcome the suggestion that the education sector budget be given priority and even be ring-fenced so that we are able to ensure that we keep our children and our teachers in school and in class. Thank you for that suggestion."
