This research project sought to investigate on School based factors and
implementation of primary education curriculum in APBET schools in
Embakasi Sub County, Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to
examine on trainers’ qualifications, availability of teaching and learning
resources, instructional methods, learner characteristics and implementation of
primary education curriculum in Approved Basic Education and Training
schools in Embakasi Sub-County. Four research questions were formulated in
line with the objectives. The study was a descriptive survey type adopting a
descriptive approach on School based factors and implementation of education
curriculum in APBET schools in Embakasi Sub County, Kenya.
Questionnaires targeting 146 respondents (upper class trainers, class prefects
and administrators) who are in one way or the other involved in curriculum
implementation were used to collect the data. Simple random sampling to
select the sample size for the trainers and prefects’ respondents was used while
census sampling was used for the administrators. The 16 head teachers of the
16 selected schools participated in the study. Piloting was done to establish
reliability and validity of research instruments. Data was analyzed using
descriptive statistics. The findings of the study revealed that trainer’s
qualifications, insufficient teaching and learning materials, instructional
methods and learner characteristics impacted negatively on the
implementation of curriculum. This study recommends that trainers’
qualifications should be heightened and the trainers should be encouraged to
be innovative as well as creative in the instructional methods they adopt and
ensure they rely more on the child-centered methods
