    Level of Water Governance in Schools and its Effect on Student Participation in Education
    (International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science, 2021-06-12) Wambeye, K. M.; Wasike, D. W.; Ong’anyi, Paul Obino
    Adequate access to water, hygiene and sanitation is every human’s and child’s right. These do not reflect national policies aspirations and are not adequate to student’s needs, affecting their health, well-being, performance and participation at school in Kenya. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to sample from boarding schools that were sampled to take part in a study conducted in Bungoma County in the Western region of Kenya. Stratified sampling was employed in choosing the Schools while questionnaires, interview schedules, document analysis and focus groups were used to gather data. The model was not able to significantly predict the level of water governance in schools and its effect on student participation in education and hence concluded that every boarding secondary school should develop a drinking water access plan. This study provides an empirical pattern of participation in education influenced by WASH in schools.

    Mechanism of Waste Management in Schools and its Effect on Student Participation in Education
    (International Journal of Development Research, 2022-01-12) Wambeye, K. M.; Wasike, D. W.; Ong’anyi, Paul Obino
    Waste management is pausing challenges to the environment especially in schools world over. In schools, water, sanitation and hygiene do not reflect national policies aspirations and are not adequate to student’s needs and hence affecting their health, well-being, performance and participation at school. An investigation into the mechanism of waste management in schools and its effect on student participation in education in Bungoma County, Kenya was done using a cross-sectional survey design approach. A sample of sixty five (65) boarding schools was chosen to take part while stratified sampling was employed in choosing the boarding Schools from the targeted population of 289 secondary schools. Questionnaires, interview schedules, document analysis and focus groups to gather data. Standard multiple linear regressions at α= .05 was used to examine waste disposal to see if it could predict participation in education in school. The model was not able to significantly predict the effect of waste management in schools on participation in education. It was concluded that engagement of school related groups need to encourage students to make waste reduction a part of their everyday life while increasing the flow of reusable and recyclable materials can even generate extra funds for school departments and groups.
