Good morning?
With the tough economic times the country is facing, some teachers still want to reap more from parents.
This has been happening in several schools where headteachers have been increasing school fees as they wish. But what is the Education ministry’s take on this?
Well, the school heads will now need to write to Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha and justify in detail their reasons for needing extra levies.
After sending their requests, they may or may not receive approval. Do you think this is a good move by the ministry?
Well, here are stories making headlines on Opera News App;
