Influence of school based factors on internal efficiency in provision of secondary education in Seme, Kisumu County, Kenya
Abstract
A study was carried out on the influence of school-based factors on internal
efficiency in provision of secondary education in Seme, Kisumu County,
Kenya. The objectives of the study included: To determine the relationship
between teachers’ academic level of training and internal efficiency in the
provision of secondary education in Seme, Kisumu County. To assess how
provision of teaching and learning material resources affect internal efficiency
in the provision of secondary education in Seme, Kisumu County, and finally
to assess how provision of adequate physical facilities affects internal
efficiency in provision of secondary education in Seme, Kisumu County. The
main purpose of the study was to assess how school based factors affect
internal efficiency in the provision of secondary education in Seme, Kisumu
County. The design employed in this study was descriptive Survey. The
researcher targeted 26 secondary schools in Seme sub-county, Kisumu
County. Stratified random sampling was used for this study. The researcher
grouped the target population into relatively homogenous sub-groups
thereafter; random sampling was applied within the stratum. Simple random
sampling ensured that there was no biasness in the study. The findings were
analyzed by the use of SPSS and interpreted. A summary of the findings was
then done. Some of the school-based factors that affect internal efficiency of
schools in the provision of secondary education were found to be teachers’
academic level of training, teachers’ professional level of training, availability,
or unavailability of teaching and learning materials, and the status of the
school physical facilities. Since the study was carried out only in Seme SubCounty,
there is need to do similar studies in other sub counties to establish if
the findings would be the same. The researcher recommends that all teachers
be trained and they be taken for more in service training to boost on their
professionalism. The researcher further recommends that the education
stakeholders ensure that teaching/ learning materials and school physical
facilities are availed sufficiently in all secondary schools to improve the
internal efficiency of secondary schools in the provision of secondary
education.
