Cabinet Secretary for Education Migos Ogamba has reiterated that the government will fully pay the examination fees for learners, dismissing claims that the funding had been withdrawn as misleading and false.
The CS said the government had allocated Sh701 billion to the education sector in the current budget to ensure smooth learning in all schools. "The money allocated is 28 per cent of the budget and is sufficient to cater for school capitation, improve school infrastructure, purchase learning materials, training and salaries, among others," he underscored.
He recalled the challenges he found in the Ministry when he took office, noting that teachers' unions and university employees were frequently holding protests, hence compromising the standards of education, but he has been dealing with the issues to improve learning conditions.
The CS committed to continue ensuring that the education sector is peaceful and well organised to produce good results.
