He encouraged parents to report any incidences of students being turned away for not paying the higher fees to their respective Regional Education Coordinators, County Directors of Education and sub-County Directors.
“Fees guidelines, which should be adhered to without exception, have been released to school administrators. Parents are advised to only pay the amount in the fees structure,” he said.
