“Pioneer international School in Maragua, Muranga has pressured parents to send their sons back to school or else seek an alternative school. As we speak 3/4 of the Population is back due to fear. We are being compelled to deposit school fees or else. Imagine they threaten any kid left behind in syllabus coverage atajipanga. They offer the CBC curriculum like any other normal private school, why defy the Ministry of Education as well as the president’s directive?” A disgruntled parent told a renowned blogger on X.
