The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has opposed yesterday's High Court ruling declaring school levies unlawful, warning that the decision could have serious repercussions on the education sector.
Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on Tuesday, June 17, KUPPET Deputy Secretary General Moses Nthurima argued that barring public institutions from collecting levies would undermine school heads' ability to effectively manage operations.
Nthurima pointed out that delays in the disbursement of government capitation are a major reason why schools turn to parents for additional funds.
Without these levies, he said, school administrators would face significant challenges in keeping institutions running.
