    2021-2022 School fees structure for all secondary schools in Kenya

    The Ministry of Education has released the 2021 school fees structure for all secondary schools under the government’s Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) programme. The new guidelines shows the amount of school fees to be paid by parents in National Schools, Extra County Schools, County, Sub-county and special schools.

    For all national schools and Extra County schools located in major towns, the maximum fees has been set at Sh75,798 per year. Of this, the government through its FDSE programme will pay Sh22,244. The remaining balance will be paid by the parent or guardian.

    The government will provide capitation for each learner in a boarding school that is equal to capitation for each learner in a day school. In order to meet the cost of boarding, parents will pay the boarding fees applicable to different categories of schools and location.

    Tables 3, 4 and 5 below provide the details of the fees.
