Abstract
This research was conducted in Kesses Division, W areng _district, Kenya. It was
aimed at establishing the effects of time management on the teaching/learning
process.
Respondents were headteachers, teachers and students who were selected from five
sample Secondary Schools. Questionnaires and an interview guide were administered
to collect data.
The study was based on three major objectives:
(a) To find out the effects of time management on the schools' administration,
(b) To establish the effects of time management on the teaching/learning process, and
(c) To identify ways of minimizing poor time management in Secondary Schools.
The study found out that poor time management greatly affected the schools
administration as it led to failure by the administrators to accomplish their
administrative duties, absenteeism of administrators, encouraging idleness and
redundancy among teachers and students, poor planning of day to day school
activities as well as encouraging indiscipline among learners and teachers.
However, good time management could lead to accomplishment and fulfilment of
school duties, enhancing good academic performance, effective planning of day to
day school activities and minimizing indiscipline among teachers and learners.
The study also found out that poor time management could affect the teaching and
learning process in that, it could lead to irregular attendance of both teachers and
learners, failure to accomplish the teaching syllabus by the teachers, poor lesson
preparation, frequent missing of lessons, and redundancy and idleness among teachers
and learners.
The researcher therefore concluded that time management had a great influence on the
performance of Secondary Schools.

On the same note, good time management could lead to effective accomplishment of
the school syllabus in time, good lesson preparation, and effective follow up of the
school time table, and minimizing boredom, redundancy and indiscipline.
The study further established that time management could be improved by; regular
inspection of schools, improvement of teachers' welfare and provision of
accommodation facilities for teachers at school.
