"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the proposal by the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (KESSHA) to increase school fees for national, extra-county and county secondary schools, and to introduce school fees for public day secondary schools. Mr. Speaker, Sir, KESSHA explains that the proposal is based on, among other things, the partial and delayed disbursement of capitation funds, as well as the failure by Government to review the capitation allocation to account for inflation. KESSHA states that these factors have caused immense financial strain on management of schools and pushed secondary schools to the brink of financial collapse, with some considering early- mid-term breaks to manage costs. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the position of the Ministry of Education on the proposal by KESSHA to increase school fees for national, extra-county and county secondary schools, and to introduce school fees for public day secondary schools, explaining the Ministry's assessment of the justification provided by KESSHA. (2) Provide an assurance for the continued implementation of free day secondary school policy, which has been key in enabling access to secondary education to thousands of students.
