Thousands of students could miss their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) due to the ongoing push and pull between the government and schools, Gilgil Member of Parliament Martha Wangari has warned.
This warning comes barely a day after reports emerged of cash-strapped schools sending pupils home over unpaid fees.
While confirming that learners had been sent home, the MP said that those in Gilgil had been somewhat lucky to escape the fate facing students in other schools, thanks to funding from the county and the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF). "I have met some Grade 6 children going home.
I wonder why they are sending 12-year-olds home," she said.
