Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in Murang'a have protested against the government's decision to slash capitation, saying it will compromise standards of education.

The teachers said the move was uncalled for, as the stakeholders in the education sector had pushed for increased capitation to enable improvement of the teaching.
