School Heads Announce Closure of Schools, Cite Lack Of Funds To Continue Keeping Non-Candidates

School heads have announced early closure of schools as from Monday March 15 due to lack of funds .

This move comes as the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education(KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education(KCSE) national examinations draw near

The school heads claimed the purchase of examination material was faced with challenges as the government was yet to release the expected Ksh15 million education funds.

According to reports both primary and High schools are expected to close by Friday March 19 to pave way for candidates to sit their national examinations.

However, headteachers warned  the schools might close earlier than Friday as they do not have funds to cater for the learners in schools until then.

“We have not received the money and principals who have spoken with me said they will start closing schools as early as today if the money is not sent to their accounts,” said Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association chairman Kahi Indimuli.

Education CS George Magoha had earlier said the education funds would be released to all schools/ accounts by end of last week. However, the money is yet to be received.
