School heads have been directed to either refund fees paid for second and third term 2020 or come to an alternative agreement with the parents to let the fees cover for next year when schools reopen.

Speaking to the press on Wednesday, a day after announcing that schools won’t reopen until 2021, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha clarified that the directive applies to the second and third term fees and not any unutilized fee for the remainder of first term following the disruption of learning by the COVID-19 pandemic in March.
