All day secondary schools in Thika constituency will now pay a reduced fee of Sh2,500 per term and enjoy free meals, an initiative launched by area MP Alice Ng'ang'a.
The ambitious Imarisha Elimu programme seeks to help in addressing 100 percent access, retention and completion of secondary school education in her constituency.
Speaking during the launch of the programme at Kenyatta primary school Friday, the MP said the programme comes as a big boost to parents who used to pay upwards of Sh18,000 per term and who have been facing financial difficulties due to the harsh economic times.
While noting that the difference is being catered for by the NG/ CDF bursary programme, the MP warned that no principal should send learners home for school fees.
