This study sought to investigate the influence of School based determinants on implementation of readmission policy of girls after teenage pregnancy in public secondary schools in Kitui County, Kenya. The study
objectives sought to determine the influence of; guidance and counseling sessions, school policy, principals’
opinion on school related factors and community support on the implementation of re-admission policy. The
target population was 275 principals, 275 guidance and counseling teachers and 275 head girls in the 120
girls’ schools and 155 co-education schools in Kitui County, Kenya. The study also targeted the County
Director of Education and all the 16 sub county directors of education in Kitui County. Using stratified and
simple random sampling, a sample of 83 principals, 83 guidance and counseling teachers, and 83 head girls
were selected for the study. The County Director of Education was purposively selected while four sub-county
directors of Education were selected using simple random sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires.
Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that; there was
a statistically significant association between family-based factors and implementation of re-admission policy of
girls after teenage pregnancy. The guidance and counseling sessions, school policy, principals’ opinion on
school related factors and community support significantly determine the implementation of the re-admission
policy of girls after teenage pregnancy. The study recommends that; Principals, boards of management and
guidance and counseling teachers should be sensitized on there-admission policy. This would enhance the
implementation of the re-admission policy of girls after teenage pregnancy in public secondary schools in Kitui
County, Kenya. |
