“…In this view, Chemwei, Leboo & Koech (2014) explained the importance of institutions evaluating the conditions in their operating environments, examining competitive pressures, carrying out Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis and identifying strategic issues. These identified strategic issues require that the institution develop a strategic orientation and execution of strategies capable of moving the institutions to their desired future states.…”

The study examined the strategic planning competencies utilized by principals in managing emerging issues in public secondary schools in Enugu State. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The target population comprised 462 respondents which made up of all the 231 principals and 231 vice-principals in the public secondary schools in Enugu State. The instrument for data collection was a researcher-developed questionnaire, structured on a 4-point rating scale that ranged from very high extent to very low extent. It was validated by two experts, one in Educational Administration and Planning and the other in Measurement and Evaluation, Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu. The test-retest method of reliability of the instrument was used and the data obtained were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.85. Mean and standard deviation were used in answering the research questions. The t-test was used in testing the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that principals utilized strategic planning competencies to a low extent going by the mean ratings of principals and vice-principals. There were also no significant differences between the mean ratings of principals and vice principals on their utilization of the strategic planning competencies. Poor utilization of strategic planning competencies by principals implies that it is either that principals were not adequately trained and prepared to strategically manage schools for effective results or that the training they received was no longer adequate to meet the challenges of emerging issues in secondary school management. It was thus, recommended among other things that Continuous training opportunities should be given to all principals through seminars and workshops to expose them to modern trends and skills in strategic planning for managing emerging issues in their schools through the optimum use of targets, standards, and scarce resources.

“…This trend is likely to deprive schools and learners their expertise and experience resulting in poor quality of teaching. From the available relevant literature, there seems to be limited studies which have been carried out focusing on employees' turnover intentions in the education sector especially in secondary school level and those available within Kenya focused more on the actual turnover of teachers (Waititu, 2013;Koech, Tikoko & Chemwei, 2014;Mugo, 2013;Mutune, 2013;Mutune & Orodho, 2013;Chemwei & Koech, 2015). This research therefore seeks to fill this research gap…”

Teachers are the main pillars for the school success and performance. Teachers who are effective have been found to be highly committed, motivated and stable in their tenure. However, reports by Education International and Kenya National Union of Teachers established that a high percentage of teachers employed by the government in public schools would want to leave the profession. The trend is worrying and a threat to the teaching profession. It was therefore necessary to establish whether the findings apply to Nakuru County among secondary school teachers and establish the factors likely to influence teachers' intentions to turnover. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine the effect selected High Commitment Work Practices (HCWP) on intentions to turnover among teachers in Nakuru County, Kenya. This study used a cross sectional survey design. A sample of 358 Teachers Service Commission public secondary school teachers was drawn from the target population of 3452 Public Secondary school teachers and a sample of 77 schools was drawn from 325 schools in nine (9) Sub counties in Nakuru County. Using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software, data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics which included percentages, means and standard deviation and inferential statistics which included Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient and ANOVA at statistical significance of 0.05. The findings showed that selected HCWP had an effect on turnover intentions of teachers. The results of the study yielded crucial information that may inform the Ministry of Education, Teachers Service Commission, policy makers, board of management and school top managers on important measures to take in order to reduce turn over intentions and eventual turnover among teachers.
