Schools are sliding into a crisis as delayed government capitation leaves administrators with little choice but to send learners home over unpaid fees.
Principals describe a desperate struggle to keep schools afloat without the government funding as they continue to incur expenses on food, laboratory practicals, wages and other daily operations.
Sub-county institutions, which are mainly day schools that rely almost entirely on government capitation, are the most hit.
Majority of their learners come from cities' informal settlements or rural villages.
