Private Schools Warned Against Collecting Money From Grade 7 Students
The government has warned private schools against admission and collection of fees for Junior Secondary School(JSS) before they are approved by the Ministry of Education.
The warning by Mombasa County Director of education Peter Magiri comes as it emerged that no school had so far received approval from the government through the Education ministry to offer JSS.
Addressing the media at his office yesterday at Uhuru Na Kazi Building,Magiri asked parents to be cautious of private schools advertising that they have been approved to offer JSS.
“Some private schools are cunning, I have seen many with banners saying they have been registered to offer JSS. As we are speaking now, there is no school that has been given the go ahead to provide JSS,”said Magiri.
