Schools begin the third week of the second term with empty pockets after the government failed to release capitation to the institutions as they grapple with operation cost.
This is despite Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba last week promising schools that the funds would be released by the end of the second week.
Ogamba said the Schools will receive Sh21 billion in capitation funds during the Inaugural Education Conference 2026 at Lake Naivasha Resort.
And now public primary and secondary schools are staring at serious operational challenges despite assurances from Ogamba that the money would be released by last Friday.
