Abstract

A Board of management acts as a link between the school and the parents. It is supposed to give
schools leverage with regard to having the parents given a stake in the leadership and governance
of the schools. The study sought to find out the effectiveness of Boards of Management in
Kahuro Sub-County, Murang’a County. The study observed that: all the head teachers
considered the Boards of Management to have been involved in the administration and
governance programmes within the schools. All of the head teachers were of the view that
involvement of the schools management Boardmembers in financial management was enhanced.
Furthermore they considered the BoM to have been involved in the supervision of teaching and
learning activities in their respective schools
