💰FEES PAID AT THE SCHOOL.

The Ministry of Education in Kenya has introduced new, standardized fee guidelines for public senior secondary schools, effective from January 2026, which marks the transition of the first cohort of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) learners (Grade 9) to Senior School (Grade 10).

Here are the key details of the approved annual fees and the structure:

1. Standardized Annual School Fees (Public Senior Schools)

The new guidelines scrap the previous classification of schools (National, Extra-County, County, Sub-County) and introduce a uniform fee structure.

School Type	Annual Fee Payable by Parent	Government Capitation (Subsidy)	Total Annual Cost
Public Boarding School	Ksh 53,554	Ksh 12,870	Ksh 66,424
Public Day School	Ksh 9,374	Ksh 12,870	Ksh 22,244
Special Needs Boarding School	Ksh 37,210	Ksh 57,974	Ksh 95,184

Note: The annual fee of Ksh 53,554 for boarding schools is based on the rates established in a 2015 Gazette Notice and is meant to cover boarding equipment, stores, and other administrative costs. The Government Capitation is the subsidy provided by the government to support the Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) programme.

2. Key Changes and Clarifications

Uniform School Fees: All public boarding schools are now expected to charge the same annual fee, standardizing costs across the country.
Capitation: The government will continue to provide capitation (subsidy) for all learners in senior schools. The new capitation amount for regular schools is to be Ksh 12,870 per learner per year.
No Additional Levies: Schools are required to adhere strictly to the approved annual fee guidelines. Any request for additional levies must receive written approval from the Cabinet Secretary for Education through the County Education Board (CEB).
School Fees Payment: Fee structures must be provided to parents at the start of the academic year, specifying vote heads (tuition, boarding, meals, activity fees), and payment should be done through designated official channels.

Pro Tip: The final fee structures for individual public schools are expected to be strictly controlled by these Ministry of Education guidelines to ensure affordability and equity in access to Senior School education under the CBC system. It is important to note that schools may charge other levies after agreeing with parents and getting consent from the Ministry of Education.
