Abstract

This study investigated challenges and strategies towards teenage mother re-entry policy (TMRP) implementation in public secondary schools in Bungoma County. Objectives were to examine extent of TMRP implementation, establish challenges faced, and assess strategies towards implementation. Data collection instruments were interviews, questionnaire, and document analysis. Convenience, snowball, and purposive sampling techniques were used to select 36 parents of TMs, 49 TMs, 19 principals, and sub county director of education, respectively. The study established that extent of implementation was low (AMR=2.40), on overall challenges were high (AMR=3.20) with fear, shame, and stigma (MR=3.73) strategies (AMR=3.40) with parental involvement (MR=4.15). The study concluded that implementation was low due to lack of commitment. Recommended to MOE to conduct seminars for school administrators and parents on TMRP alongside individual and national economic development benefits associated with TM re-entry.
