Makini Schools’ Parents Protest 70K Termly Fees For Online Learning

Makini Schools have come up with a plan for students to return to schools in their institutions but the parents are not impressed as they will have to cough out heftily for the services at a time everyone is complaining of tough financial times.

A group of Makini School parents has since come out to protest the decision by the institution to start online teaching which will see them charge as much as 70,000 shillings per pupil.

The parents argued that the school is forcing them to pay huge amounts yet the economic situation was dire and they would be footing all the other bills such as internet, laptops, and meals.

The communication Manager, Makini School, Katya Nyangi, however, defends the managerial decision to resume online teaching and the charges saying that the schools had spent a lot on preparations to enable virtual learning.

“Like other schools, we are offering lessons virtually. We did this after a lot of preparations, teacher training, and getting resources,” Ms Katya said.

The Makini Schools communication Manager also argued that there would no further charges once the term begins and so parents should work with the management to ensure the students smoothly resume learning.
