County, Kenya from which a sample size of 112 respondents comprising school principals, heads of departments and teachers
was drawn using both purposive and simple random sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and was analysed

implementation of the strategic plans. The study recommends more training for key stakeholders responsible for the
implementation of the strategic plans in the schools.
