| dc.description.abstract | Board of Governors (BOGs) and Parent Teacher Association (PTAs) can rightly be described as the life blood of a school. They constitute an important component of the school leadership, management and governance structure. They also form an important link between the school and the community. Through such a link local ownership is enhanced. Through their involvement in the life of the school, local resources are mobilised and also school leadership and management is strengthened. This article reports on the findings of a study on PTAs and BOGs roles and/or responsibilities conducted in a region in the Kisii County. A survey design was employed and involved headteachers (30), chairs of PTA (30) and BOGs (30) drawn from thirty secondary schools which were purposively sampled. Questionnaires were used to collect data. The study findings reveal that BOG and PTA performed various strategic roles. However, their effectiveness was overshadowed by tensions and role conflicts among themselves due to role overlap and lack of clear guidelines. The study also identified some challenges that confront them as they execute their role and/responsibilities, among them lack of adequate funds and parental support. | en_US |
