On Tuesday evening, reports circulating on social media suggested that the Government of Kenya is planning to make education almost free across the country. Many parents and guardians have welcomed the news with hope and excitement.
According to the reports, parents will be required to pay only Ksh 90 per term. With three school terms in a year, this means a total of just Ksh 270 annually.
This move is expected to ease the financial burden on many families and make education accessible to more children.
The government has reportedly also revealed when these changes will take effect. The new system is set to start in February 2027, after the general elections.
President William Ruto is expected to allocate more funds to the education sector to ensure that schools can operate effectively while keeping fees low.
This policy will apply to all levels, from primary schools to high schools. The news has already sparked debates on social media, with parents expressing both excitement and curiosity about how the plan will be implemented.
Many hope that this initiative will improve access to education and ensure that no child is left behind due to financial challenges.
As Kenya prepares for the 2027 elections, this move by the government could become a major talking point, showing commitment to education and the future of the nation’s children.
