Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang expressed the need for parents to reconsider the moral basis of the boarding school model for learners in primary Schools.
He disclosed that Kenya had the highest percentage of its children globally in boarding schools, standing at 28 per cent against the global average which doesn't exceed 15 per cent.
He made the remarks during the Kenya Primary School Heads Association in Mombasa in 2002.
Kipsang simply echoed the recommendations of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms that the day school system has become the norm in the educational system, particularly at Junior School level.
