Abstract
The study aimed at establishing the Challenges as to Sources of Funds for
Instructional and Infrastructural facilities in selected Kenyan Public Secondary Schools.
The study adopted a descriptive research design. Findings were analyzed using
tables and other descriptive statistics. The study established that there were a number
of challenges facing sources of funds for Instructional and infrastructural facilities in
secondary schools, among them being uncooperative sponsors, political interference
and mismanagement of funds and other emergent issues such as HIV/AIDs, The study
had the following objectives:
Identifying sources of finances for instructional and infrastructural facilities in Kenyan
public secondary schools.
Availability and condition of Instructional and Infrastructural facilities, Instructional and
Infrastructural challenges facing public secondary schools, Relationship between the
length of period a school had existed and the level of Instructional and Infrastructural
facilities.
The study recommended that sources of finances for Instructional and Infrastructural
facilities be increased to cater for the increase in students to secondary schools. Most
schools had insufficient Instructional and Infrastructural facilities but a few were having
adequate and poorly maintained facilities. Most schools had many challenges regarding
Instructional and Infrastructural facilities. Schools which had existed for along time had
more Instructional and Infrastructural facilities unlike those schools which had existed
for a short time. Managers of schools should be trained in financial management and
other stakeholders be involved in the implementation of school programmes.
The government should also reorganize the disbursement of C.D~F funds so that they
are released in good time to coincide with the period during which schools are in dire
need. Schools should develop income generating activities to increase revenue for
physical development of schools to improve or develop facilities by using locally
available resources.
