More than 8,000 primary school head teachers arrived in Mombasa yesterday for their annual delegates’ conference where their officials said they would forge a common stand on holiday tuition.

The Government has directed county education officials to ensure schools do not conduct holiday tuition and has urged parents to report those found breaking the law.
