Sh29.98b will go directly to the pupils. Government will pay sh1,859 per child per term.
Under USE
Sh87b will go to schools. The Government will spend sh41,000 on each student in government secondary schools.

This is because unlike in government schools, the Government does not pay teachers’ salaries in private secondary schools running the USE programme.
