Abstract

The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of fiscal policy on the performance of educational institutions in the North Rift region, specifically, in Nandi and Uasin Gishu Counties. The theories used to frame this work were the Resource Based View, Human Capital, and Contingency Theory. The study adopted an interpretive philosophical approach. The target population was 1,672 respondents from 278 public secondary schools. Using the Taro Yamane formulae, a 322-sample size was derived. The research used stratified sampling techniques. Self-administered questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The study showed that financial policy influences the performance of public secondary schools. Public policy determines the government allocation to schools, the timing of the release of government funds, school fees revenue stream, and financial aid to needy students. The results also show that financial policy does influence the performance of educational institutions. The study recommends that both the national and county governments should ensure that the amount allocated to finance school programs is adequate considering the high enrolment rate due to the 100% transition policy. The National government should ensure that the disbursement of funds reaches the targeted schools within the stipulated time. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education should come up with appropriate strategies that ensure that the performance of the schools is not affected by unprecedented challenges brought about by pandemics such as COVID-19.
