A survey of capability gap and challenges encountered in the implementation of free primary education strategy in Kieni west division, Nyeri district
Abstract
The main critical phase of strategic management process is translating strategic thought into
organizationalaction. Once strategies have been formulated they need to be implemented. Strategy
implementationis concerned with both planning how the choices of strategies will be put into effect
and managing the changes required in the process. This process is fraught with complexity and
challengesand many organizations create great plans for the future but fail to implement the desired
change. Without successful implementation, an organization will not obtain the results that it
intended.
The study focuses on strategy implementation in the MOEST with special reference to the FPE
strategy's implementation in Kieni West Division which is in Nyeri District .The main objective of
this studywas to fmd out the extent of the capability gap following the implementation of FPE and
the challengesencountered in the implementation process.
This study is presented in 5 chapters and sections through which the researcher has discussed the
aboveissues. Quantitative method of data analysis has been used to analyze the data. Summary tables
containingmean scores, frequencies and percentages have extensively been used to present the data. -. The research results obtained indicate that following the implementation of the FPE strategy, the
capabilitygap of teachers and toilets for pupils has increased; the capability gap of teachers' toilets
and textbooks has reduced whereas the capability gap for desks has neither reduced nor increased.
It's also evident that lack of enough resources, parent's interference, shortage of teachers and lack of
enough physical facilities form the greatest challenges to the implementation of FPE strategy.
