The students from the poor background are facing it rough inside the boarding institutions, due to lack of finances.
Majority of the learners with school fees balances have been sent home with parents' pleas rejected by the administrations.
A section of the heads interviewed detailed the challenges they are going through as the government despite directive on the re-opening the institutions, was yet to remit resources to facilitate free learning.
“The stores are empty and less than 40 percent of the parents have paid their fees,” said one of the heads.
They hinted that the majority of the parents due to Covid 19 pandemic, are working on transfer of their students from the boarding to day schools near their homes, as a cost measure.
The Mountain Journal learnt that the schools are using tricks sending the learners home to avoid the media, through hiring of public service vehicles destined to certain direction.
For example the learners to Nairobi, Nakuru, Nyahururu, Nanyuki, Mombasa board one vehicle in accordance with the route, to avoid the media.
