Primary school headteachers and board members will undergo fresh training on financial management to protect free education billions under their custody.
This comes as it emerged that most members of Boards of Management (BoM) in the 23,000 primary schools do not have basic financial and record keeping literacy, leading to poor accountability and wastage.
An audit on use of schools capitation funds by the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) in 2016 raised many lapses that cost the government billions of shillings.
