The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has lauded President William Ruto's bold interventions in the education sector, including restoring full capitation for Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) and slashing university fees.
The union also demanded more comprehensive reforms to address long-standing issues facing Kenya's teachers, learners, and public education institutions.
In a statement released on August 3, Kuppet welcomed the President's decision to maintain the FDSE capitation at Sh22,244 per student per year, overruling a unilateral reduction by the Finance Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to Sh16,900. "This action reflects the President's renewed willingness to listen to Kenyans and address the challenges they face.
It is a clear sign that his government is responsive to the public mood and the voices of education stakeholders," said Kuppet Secretary General Akelo Misori.
