Illegal School Levies Persist & CBE System Transition Faces Hurdles in Kenya

Illegal school levies continue to be imposed on parents in Kenya despite directives from the Ministry of Education to cease such practices. A recent education inspection has confirmed that illegal school fees are still being charged in various institutions, an issue that continues to affect students and parents. This highlights persistent challenges in enforcing educational reforms across the country. In addition to these financial challenges, the transition to Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum (CBE) system continues to encounter significant challenges. These hurdles persist despite ongoing government efforts aimed at the full implementation of the CBE system across the nation.
