Africa's school principals have called for more involvement of teachers in the formulation of educational policies.

Speaking during the 10th African Confederation of Principals (ACP) conference that started yesterday at a resort in Mombasa, the head teachers complained that they were not often consulted in the development of policies that they were expected to implement.
