(a) The Ministry provides a subsidy to all students in public day and boarding secondary schools, under the Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) programme at annual capitation of Kshs10,625 per student, out of which, Kshs3,600 is for tuition and Kshs6,665 for operational expenses. On the other hand, the allocation of Free Primary Education (FPE) funds are based on annual capitation of Kshs1,020 per pupil, out of which Kshs650 is for tuition and Kshs370 is for recurrent expenses. Parents of students in secondary boarding schools are required to pay Kshs18,625 per annum to cater for boarding related costs such as meals, electricity and water, among others. On the other hand, parents of students in day secondary schools are required to purchase school uniforms, buy lunches, uniforms, develop physical infrastructure, provide transport and pay national examination fees. (b) The Ministry has instructed the Provincial and District Education Boards to monitor and ensure that schools adhere to fee guidelines and that any extra levies must be charged within the Ministerial guidelines and regulations."
