Parents across Kenya have welcomed positive news from the Ministry of Education as schools reopened following the half-term break from February 25 to March 1. The government has introduced measures to ensure a smooth transition for students and their families.
A key initiative is the timely disbursement of funds to public schools, including primary, junior, and day secondary institutions.
These funds are intended to cover essential operational costs for the remainder of the first term, enabling schools to run smoothly without passing additional expenses onto parents.
By releasing the funds before the break ended, the Ministry has demonstrated a commitment to stable school operations and financial predictability for households.
Education officials have also confirmed that school fees will remain unchanged for the new term. There will be no extra charges beyond the approved fee structure, giving parents peace of mind and allowing them to plan their budgets effectively.
School administrators have been reminded to use the allocated funds responsibly and to avoid imposing unauthorized levies. Any schools found charging fees outside the official guidelines may face disciplinary action, safeguarding families from unexpected financial burdens.
These measures reflect the government’s commitment to protecting every child’s right to education while easing the financial strain on parents.
With classrooms filling once more, families can now focus on their children’s learning and wellbeing, confident that clear policies and adequate funding are in place to support smooth school operations.
