The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has called for a national conversation on the future of free education, warning that the current model is unsustainable and threatens the future of millions of children.
Speaking on Saturday, Kuppet Secretary-General Akelo Misori argued that education is a costly venture and that parents must be prepared to shoulder part of the burden. "Education is not a cheap matter-it is very expensive.
Someone has to pay for it.
If taxpayers alone cannot support free education, then parents must be ready to dip into their pockets," Misori said from his office.
