Why do governments make schools cost in Kenya?

Need it by Monday

Kenya has free primary education since 2004 when the NARC party and Kibaki implemented their campaign pledge. But most parents are still responsible for other expenses like building funds, uniforms, etc. Secondary education is not free but they have promised it will be by 2008. The main problem is that the school system was/is so overwhelmed by the number of students who enrolled in primary in 2004 that they need to fix alot before that promise and the education is provides can mean anything.

In the end, they charge fees because the government cannot afford to offer free schooling.

Usually the tax payers fund the schools, if there are no jobs to be taxed, they have to find another way to find money to run the school.

primary education is free after that secondary education could cost about 25000 kenya shillings a year and thats a really cheap estimate calculate that by dividin by67shs per dollar
