Abstract
This paper sought to establish the determinants for implementing income generating projects in public secondary schools in Konoin District of Bomet County. The specific objectives of the study were: to establish whether financial and physical resources affect the implementation of income generating project in public secondary schools in Konoin District; to determine the effect of head teacher transfers on the implementation of income generating project in public secondary schools in Konoin District; to establish the role of political interference on the implementation of income generating project in public secondary schools in Konoin District and to establish whether management skills affect the implementation of income generating project in public secondary schools in Konoin District. A survey design was used where principals in public secondary schools in the district were targeted. A census of the 30 principals in these secondary schools was done. Data was collected using a semi structured questionnaire between April and May 2013. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS Version 20. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed, with reporting of the inferential statistics done using the Odds Ratio (OR) at 95% Confidence Interval (CI). The study established that engagement in IGPs in public secondary schools in Konoin District was determined by the adequacy of resources both financial (OR: 7.380; p= 0.036) and physical OR: 1.036; p= 0.042), low frequency of head teacher transfers (OR: 1.060; p= 0.032) and low level of politics especially on IGP profits management (OR: 2.068; p= 0.003) and tendering for IGP supplies (OR: 3.186; p= 0.046). It is concluded that the implementation of school income generating project in Konoin District is determined by adequacy of financial and physical resources, frequency of head teacher transfers and the level of politics relating to income generating project profits and tendering. The study recommended stakeholder sensitization of the importance of school income generating project coupled with equitable sharing of income generating project profits through initiation of school development papers, payment of school fees for students from poor backgrounds and/or subsidization of school fees in order to turn around the negative misperceptions about school income generating project among the parents. Effective stakeholder communication can also alley the unfounded fears of dilution of quality of education.
