Today, Monday, February 6, is the first day of Form One admissions across the country, a week after junior secondary schools opened and two weeks after the new academic calendar began.

Learners are going back to school at a time when parents are dealing with rising living costs, which have caused the prices of essential commodities to increase.

The Ministry of Education issued a variety of directives, some of which were intended to protect parents from exploitative school principals. The guidelines covered all aspects, such as school fees, clothing, textbooks, and calendar dates.
