With a sample size of sample size of 376 (n) respondents, comprising of; 76 female principals, 78 male principals, 178 deputy female principals,22 sub-county education officers, and 22 Quality Assurance and Standards Officers. The study used questionnaires and interview schedules to collect requisite data.
