Abstract
This study investigated the extent to which the implementation of the
FSE has contributed to availability of teaching and learning resources in Keiyo
District, Kenya. This study was an Ex-post-facto descriptive research that
examined the situation as it was on the ground without any manipulation of
variables. The target population of the study comprised a total of 37 secondary
schools that present candidates for KCSE in Keiyo district. Keiyo District was
chosen in this study because it is one of the districts that has high poverty index
and therefore likely to benefit more from the FSE policy. The sample consisted of
25 secondary schools drawn through stratified random sampling technique. The
instruments for data collection were: self-administered questionnaires, interview
schedule and document analysis e.g. inventories, circulars. The data collected was
summarized by; the use pie charts, graphs and frequency tables. Analysis was done
using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study established that the
FSE policy has contributed to availability of teaching and learning resources, that
with the implementation of FSE policy most learning and teaching materials are
adequate and used, most materials and resources were effectively used and the
head teachers had put appropriate measures to ensure that the use of the resources
are maximized. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education should
consider increasing the funding immensely as it encourages other stakeholders to
complement government efforts in resource mobilization.
