Day secondary school principals have been cautioned against sending students home for failure to pay lunch fee.

Embu County Commissioner Abdulahi Galgalo and Eastern Regional Education Officer Patrick Khaemba said the government was committed to ensuring 100 percent transition to secondary schools and had thus paid tuition for each student.
