The dispute over second term fees at Makini School has intensified after the parents’ association committee asked members to withhold payments for e-learning.
The parents-teachers association (PTA) committee has rejected demand for fees citing earlier reassurances by the private school that e-learning lessons would be provided to the pupils for free.
The school management has also obstinately continued to disregard the concerns raised by parents,” the PTA committee chairman, Nixon Bugo, said in an advisory to parents dated May 22.
Already parents at Brookhouse International School are in court with the institution over payment of full school fees amid the Covid-19 pandemic, accusing the school management of exploiting them amid an unprecedented business disruption.
