Basic Education PS Julius Bitok has assured parents that they have no reason to worry, as the government has no intention of scrapping the free education programme.
Speaking on Friday, July 25, while attending a prize-giving ceremony at St.
Thomas Girls' Secondary School in Kilifi County, Bitok assured parents that the Ministry would lobby Parliament to increase the education budget to shield them from any additional expenses.
The PS revealed that efforts would be made to lobby Parliament for enhanced budget allocations to cover capitation and examination costs.
