public schools have space,but the constant strikes,congestions etc don't make them better choices either.
Education today is all about the school and not the kid,we prefer better learning environment.

Talent is best discovered at home and nurtured.

[quote]Kenya: Secondary education in Kenya’s top public schools is slowly becoming a preserve of students from well-to-do families as head teachers ignore Government guidelines to keep fees affordable. Parents are now struggling to shoulder the cost of secondary education that has gone through the roof, and many have even been forced to remove children admitted to national schools after failing to keep up fees payments. Ministry of Education guidelines recommend that public schools charge Sh18,000 per year, while the Government tops up Sh10,265 for every student. But the fees have soared to as high as Sh100,000, driven up by a raft of new levies introduced by head teachers. The state of affairs that seemingly offers education to the highest bidder has put the future of thousands of bright but needy students in jeopardy

Public day secondary schools are supposed to 'free' as far as the garment is concerned yet I'm paying 28K for my nephew in form four!!!!!

To add on the fees, the Head teachers are now auctioning places for the needy students who fail to report for their slots especially in the National Public schools!!!

Yes Tebes. Selected by one National school, but I walked into another and they offered him a chance too. so I have two admission letters. Do I make myself clearer?

Yeah. Coz all Unis went on strike at one time or the other then. And all students are assumed to have participated thats why ALL were sent home. So my 'yes' is iplied.

Hahaha, the garment pay the tution fees and according to the same gava Public day schools bure....just like 'Free Primary education'......it's all a hoax!!!!

Whats really happening in kenya.This middle class mentality of accept and move on and not asking the hard questions is our greatest bane.Now how how does a public high school supported by the Government with Teachers on the Government payroll charge more than a private high school whose foremost objective is to make profits.How now does one public School charge double the other in the same country(my nephew has an admission letter from Ribe High with an annual fees of KShs.56,000, Kisii High's annual fees is approximately 110,000. As we run helter skelter chasing the ghosts of corruption in Govt bealive me High School principals are the latest Millionaires we are minting from corruption.

Nowadays all headteachers of public primary schools drive in the village yet kitambo it was baiskeli pekee yake!!!!
