The government will release about Sh21 billion as capitation to public schools next week.
Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) Julius Ogamba has said this will go a long way in helping school heads to plan for the second term, which kicked off this week.
Speaking in Naivasha during the Naivasha Education Conference, that brought together education officers and other stakeholders from around the country, Ogamba urged the officials to closely monitor the use of government funds sent to schools to ensure that they are put into proper use.
The CS noted that capitation to schools is sometimes delayed because of competition for the limited resources and sometimes delay in release of the Exchequer.
