    "content": "(c) The Ministry provides grants to public schools and not to private schools. The grants cater for the majority of poor and needy children. Parents are free to take their children to schools of their choice depending on their financial abilities and other factors. The only non- government schools funded by the Ministry are non-formal schools and non-formal education centres, which are in urban and unplanned settlements as registered by the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Children, Gender and Social Development. The non-formal schools receive grants of Kshs650 per child per year. Since 2004, 410 non-formal schools and non-formal centres with an enrollment of 89,569 children have benefitted from the grants to the tune of Kshs265.7 million. In the current financial year, the Ministry has allocated a total of Kshs72 million as grants to non-formal schools or non-formal education centres. Already, Kshs63 million has been disbursed to 393 non-formal schools in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Thika, Kitale and Eldoret Municipality. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
