dc.description.abstract | Researchers and policy developers have done a lot of studies on the reasons fueling teacher
attrition in secondary schools. I contribute to these findings by evaluating the influence of
gender, marital status, teaching subjects, age, education level and place of residence of a
teacher on the teacher’s decision to transfer out of a sub county. Univariate frailty model with
covariates was used to model teacher attrition using information from simulated data. The
study objectives were to; develop a frailty model for teacher attrition, evaluate the factors
influencing teacher attrition using frailty model and to determine the trend on teacher attrition
rate. All the factors under investigation were found to have a significant influence on teacher
transfer decision except the place of residence. The study as well found out that there were
other unobserved factors which influence a teacher’s decision to transfer out of a given
region. The data used in this study was randomly generated. Information investigation was
done utilizing R-3.2.5 rendition. | en_US |
