Senior school principals have proposed a significant increase in school fees, but the government remains silent on the matter, despite strong opposition from parents.

• Principals under the Kenya Senior School Heads Association (Kessha) are proposing a fee increase of up to Sh43,000.
• Parents are firmly against the proposal, citing the already high cost of living and the potential to increase financial burdens on households.
• Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has declined to comment on the proposal, instead highlighting the government's increased budget allocation to education.
