IN response to Govt, teachers square off over holiday lessons, SHEPHERD NYATHI says: Government is overstepping its mandate. Let the teachers and parents decide what is good for the pupils. Holiday lessons have been there since time immemorial. Parents are free to decide for their children. During our time, holiday lessons were largely for examination classes. Government cannot put a blanket ban on every class. We can have holiday lessons for Grade 7, Forms 4 and 6 examination classes.
