Secondary school only abolishing boarding schools can make it affordable

Parents can cater for tutiton via levying of school tades on every family. What needs to happen is that the old model of  boarding schools and schools stratification needs to be phased out. The facilities left can be turned to classes. Also to cut on administration fees only schools with over 1000 kids should be left open. All others should consolidated and closed. The whole bullshit by both political parties of free secondary school is populist nonsense

Kenya's Education Budget for 2017/2018:

    Ksh. 10.1 billion allocated to the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB)
    Ksh 83.8 billion allocated to University Education
    Ksh 6.0 billion allocated to technical, vocational education and training  (TVET)
    Ksh 13.4 billion allocated to deployment of digital  for primary schools
    Ksh 0.3 billion allocated for the upgrading of National Schools
    Ksh 14 billion allocated to Free Primary Education programme
    Ksh 33 billion allocated to Free Day Secondary Education programme
    Ksh 2.5 billion allocated to School Feeding Programme IN  arid and semi-arid areas
    Ksh 0.5 billion allocated to support the provision for sanitary towels to our girls in school
    Ksh 2 billion allocated to the recruitment of additional teachers
    Ksh 4 billion allocated to examinations fee waiver for all class eight and form four candidates who will be sitting for the KNEC exams

Take a comparative consideration of the figures.   Best use of money?  We are even spending more  than  twice as much on laptops-for-toddlers as on all of TVET.
