Kenyan Parents Asked To Pay Between $40-$100 To Rebuild Burnt Schools, But Say They Can’t Afford It

    Parents have been ordered to pay for the rebuilding of schools torched by arsonists in Kenya.

    More than 100 schools have been affected since the beginning of the year. In one school, Itierio Boys High School, where students burnt their dormitory after being denied a chance to watch a football match, parents have been told to pay $98 (£74) each to meet the total cost of the repairs which has been put at around $79,000.

    Other schools have set the payments at between $40 and $100, which some parents have complained that they cannot afford.

    The school fires seem to have stopped after the government refused to relent to calls to close schools countrywide. So parents however wondered where the Government and school autorities expect them to get the amount from.
