Crisis of School Capitation As Term Two Commences on Monday.
Claims that when schools resume for the second term on Monday, they won’t receive capitation money have triggered a new spat between government and school leaders. Reopening is hampered, among other things, by capitation distribution.
Headteachers are dubious of Machogu’s claim that capitation funds for this term had already been given before the conclusion of the first term, despite his assurances that parents would receive a waiver of the school fee with flexible payment arrangements.
Schools ought to make use of the money supplied shortly before the first term ends, in Machogu’s opinion. He explained that twenty-five percent of the funds were provided to schools at the beginning of the first term, and the remaining twenty-five percent at the end of the term.
Machogu emphasized that schools should begin using the remaining monies in accordance with the CS’s instructions, as she feels that some have not yet done so.
The heads counter that running their schools without capitation would make it more difficult for them to accept new students.
They argue that the funds given at the conclusion of the first term were already utilized to pay off arrears and unpaid payments for staff members who are not instructors.
The Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association’s Johnson Nzioka issues a grim warning if funding for the second term is not given on time.
He emphasizes how crucial prompt capitation is to allow school heads to make the necessary arrangements, such as buying cleaning supplies and taking care of overgrown compounds left over from the holidays.
