The five-day secondary headteachers' annual conference ended yesterday with a raft of resolutions, including a push to increase capitation grants and boarding school fees for smooth running of the institutions.

The over 8,000 principals who were meeting in Mombasa also called for the promotion of teachers in grades D1 and D2 to unlock career growth of principals in grade D3.
