Kenya Secondary School Association (KSSA) has called on the government to supply schools with the low-cost flour to tackle the shortage.

According to KSSA, high cost of living is one of the major challenges facing the education sector.

According to Samson Macharia, Vice Chairman KSSA Naivasha chapter, the high food prices has stretched the budgets of parents and affected operations in almost all the schools.

Macharia was speaking at Magereza Academy in Naivasha.

 “Getting cereals from The National Cereals and Produce Board is a major challenge for many schools and we are asking the National Government to assist in this,” Macharia said.
