The Principal Secretary in charge of Early Learning and basics Education Dr Julius Jwan has warned principals and head teachers against conducting tuition.
Speaking to the press in Eldoret town Jwan said tuition is against the law and any one who will be found will face full force of the law.

This comes after it was reported that students have been recalled in some schools in the name of syllabus completion
The Principal Secretary assured the country that the time given for academic year is enough for the coverage of the syllabus.
“Normally the term has between 10 to 14 weeks and within that period the learners and all the schools will be able to cover the syllabus without any stress and without panic therefore tuition should not be allowed. Some schools are telling parents to
take their students back to school in the name of finishing the syllabus before they open, this is
uncalled for and ill intended,” “,said Jwan.
