Title | : | Leadership Challenges Faced by School Principals when Implementing Ict-Based Curriculum and Instructions in Secondary Schools in Elgeyo Marakwet County |
Country | : | Kenya |
Authors | : | Lambaino Eunice || Dr. Koross Rachael || Prof. Kimani Chege Gabriel |
Abstract: Many schools in Kenya are still using traditional methods of teaching with old curriculum that lack ICT contents despite the government desire to have all schools in the country be ICT compliant. These institutions are still manually operated from class rooms to offices; all works are majorly manually done as classrooms are still containing black chalk walls, teachers prepare lessons manually. Lesson plans, timetables, notes and any other teaching materials are manually developed from key textbooks following a largely syllabus that is non-ICT content based. It is based on these backdrops that the purpose of this study was to establish the challenges encountered by principals in the implementation of ICT-based curriculum and instruction in secondary schools in Elgeyo Marakwet County in Kenya........

Authors | : | Vincent C. Mbito || Moses W. Wekesa |
Abstract: The need for the development of unified accounting standards has been the primary driver of international public sector accounting standards for public sector financial reporting. A common set of international accounting standards can reduce the information processing and auditing costs to market participants. A dispassionate view of the facts presented in the Auditor General for the Financial Year ended on June 30, 2014 show that Kenya's public finance management and accounting processes are still highly manual and inaccurate, calling to question the efficacy of the adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSASs) in the public sector account...........
