Broke Kenyans gush about city school charging Sh630k fee per term
A private school in the city has caused chatter on social media because of how much it charges as tuition fee for a single term.
The fee structure Peponi House Preparatory School was shared widely on social media touching off a fiery debate.
The fee structure presented in a form of a letter to parents is dated July 1, 2019, informing them of the schedule of fees to be paid for the academic year 2019 to 2020.
Parents and guardians are required to pay a termly fee of Sh632,285. It’s unclear if this is for day scholars or boarders. For the sports club and hiring of musical instruments the amount is Sh21,000 and Sh11,000 respectively.
The head teacher concludes the letter by expressing how happy he was that the 2019/2020 academic year contains zero percent increase on the levied fees.
Most city parents were in shock over what they say is an outrageous amount to pay just for one child’s education in lower school.
Moffat Wesley asked, “Ni fees ama wanauza plots?”
