The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has called for the release of the Ksh 64 billion accumulated capitation funds to support the already struggling education sector.
Addressing the press on Monday, 3rd March, KNUT Secretary-General Collins Oyuu stressed that the delay in these funds has significantly hindered heads of institutions from running and managing schools effectively.
Oyuu further noted that the lack of capitation funds is the primary reason why some heads of institutions are opting to send students home even before the official closing dates. "Why must capitation drag?
How do you expect heads of institutions to manage schools, because you cannot use your own money to go and manage schools?
