Sandford school faces legal setback as court rejects fee harmonisation claim

Kiswahili

The Federal High Court's Arada Division ruled against Sandford International School on May 31, 2026, siding with nearly 100 parents over tuition adjustments. The court found the 2024 fee changes invalid.

The High Court ruled in favour of the parents challenging Sandford International School’s tuition adjustments. It concluded that the 2024 policy increased fees under the guise of harmonisation.

As a result, previous tuition rates and levies must be maintained. The judgment rejected the school’s interpretation of its governance authority over fee restructuring.

The ruling underscores legal scrutiny over school fee governance practices. It was reported by Nahom Ayele for Fortune on May 31, 2026.
