Forced into doing menial jobs due to lack of fees: Moving of story of girl who scored 400

Mediatrix Ngai who scored 401 in KCPE but has become a housegirl due to lack of fees

The dream of a 14-year-old girl of becoming a surgeon in future has been dimmed by lack of school fees. Mediatrix Ngai has now opted to become a house help. Her mother’s efforts to beg Chepterit Girls High School in Nandi County to admit her and let her pay the school fees in bits were rejected.

Mediatrix, who scored 401 marks in last year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education at Musoli Primary School in Ikolomani constituency, was turned away on reporting day, despite having deposited Sh10,000 in the school account.
