Govt Adopts 50:30:20 Termly Distribution of Capitation for Schools
Govt Adopts 50:30:20 Termly Distribution of Capitation for Schools. Ezekiel Machogu, the current Cabinet Secretary for Education, firmly assures that school fees won’t increase. Instead, the focus is on the meticulous use of existing funds. Additionally, under the leadership of CS Machogu, the Ministry is implementing a significant change – capitation funds distribution will follow a 50:30:20 ratio for the first, second, and third terms.
In an optimistic move, CS Machogu, our Education Cabinet Secretary, announces a fresh approach to releasing capitation funds starting next year.
Acknowledging concerns about delayed disbursement, Machogu not only recognizes but fully understands the challenges faced by schools, expressing a commitment to swift resolution.
Traditionally, capitation funds were released quarterly. However, the reform, as highlighted by the CS, promises a fairer distribution of funds throughout the year, providing schools with enhanced planning capabilities.
Collins Oyuu from KNUT passionately stresses the urgent need for timely capitation payments to prevent disruptions, advocating for increased funding to seamlessly support the effective implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
In a call to action, CS Machogu, speaking at KEPSHA’s Annual General Meeting, passionately urges Primary School Heads to embrace accountability, inclusivity, and prioritized Teacher Professional Development for over 10,000 dedicated schoolThe leaders.
