About 300,000 learners have not received their capitation after
schools failed to provide their details on the National Education
Management Information System (Nemis) to benefit from the Sh36 billion
disbursed by government.
Principal Secretary for Basic
Education Belio Kipsang said, Tuesday that some 500 schools had not
provided the requisite details.
Of the Sh36 billion
that has been sent to learning institutions, Sh30 billion is for Free
Day Secondary Education (FDSE) and Sh6 billion is for Free Primary
Education (FPE).
“We shall not disburse any capitation to students whose details have not been put on Nemis by their schools,” said Dr Kipsang.
He, however, noted that the funds will be dispatched as soon as their respective schools load the details onto the system.
Dr
Kipsang made the remarks at Ngong Township Primary School in Ngong Town
after inspecting the effectiveness of the delivery of the Competence
Based Curriculum in grade II at the school.
He had earlier inspected the status of Form One admission in Oloolaiser High School, also within Ngong Town.
He
said the FDSE funds were transmitted through the Nemis unlike in the
past when the Ministry relied on the information Principals of secondary
schools provided.
He added that the Ministry had disbursed the funds to 3,000 schools to take care of 2.6 million learners.
All
students in secondary schools are required to have a birth certificate,
which is the basis for registration on Nemis. All students who sat KCPE
alsoprovided a Birth Certificate as a condition for registration by
Kenya National Examinations Council.
