    Government Education Budget and the Sustainability of Student Enrollment in Public Secondary School in Bungoma County, Kenya
    (International Journal of Science and Research Archive, 2023-04-19) Wasilwa, Juma Bakari; Maiyo, Julius; Wekesa, Duncan Wasike
    In Kenya, since 2008, the government has increased monies going to the education sector in collaboration with other foreign organizations in an effort to reduce the amount of money that households spend on their children who attend public secondary schools. In public secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya, this study aimed to determine how much the average government education spending affects the sustainability of student enrollment in secondary schools. A descriptive survey design was used for the investigation. The principals and household heads from Bungoma County's public secondary schools made up the target population. The 691 school principals and household heads in this study were chosen using a stratified random sampling procedure to ensure that the sample was representative. As instruments for gathering data, questionnaires, schedules for interviews and observations, and document analysis were all used. Expert judgment was used to determine validity. Through piloting, reliability was established. Statistics, both descriptive and inferential, were used to analyze the data. According to this survey, a secondary school student's Kshs 10,265 allowance is insufficient to keep them in school. According to the study's findings about government spending on each student, more students are enrolling in secondary school as government spending rises. As a result, this study suggests that, in order to raise the enrollment rate of pupils, the government or other educational stakeholders can assist parents who have children in first grade in purchasing a school uniform.

    Influence of Average Household Education Expenditure on Student Enrolment Sustainability in Public Secondary Schools in Bungoma County, Kenya
    (International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development, 2022-12-03) Wasilwa, Bakari; Maiyo, Julius; Wekesa, Duncan Wasike
    The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which average household education expenditure influence student enrolment sustainability in secondary schools. The study was guided by the theoretical and conceptual framework which borrows heavily from the concepts of human capital theory which was proposed by Schultz and developed extensively by Becker. This theory postulates that expenditure on training and education is costly and should be considered an investment since it is undertaken with the view to increasing personal incomes. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population consisted of principals and household heads from public secondary schools in Bungoma County. In order to have a representative sample, this study employed a stratified random sampling to select 691 school principals and household heads. Questionnaires, interview and observation schedules and document analysis were used as data collection instruments. Validity was established through expert opinion. Reliability was established through piloting. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that there is a negative relationship between the average amount of money spent by household to educate a child in secondary school and student’s enrolment rate in secondary schools. This implies that as the household expenditure in education increases the enrolment decreases. This study therefore recommends that government or other educational stake holders should support parents who have children in form one as a strategy of increasing students’ enrolment rate
