The fate of thousands of learners with outstanding fee balances in public schools across the country remains uncertain due to the government's delay in disbursing over Ksh 48.3 billion in capitation funds owed to schools.
This situation has led to some learners being sent home by head teachers in public schools, who argue that they lack the funds to keep the students in school.
The chairman of the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association, Willy Kuria, has urged the government to release the pending capitation funds.
According to Kuria, some head teachers have been compelled to send students home due to outstanding school fee arrears.
