dc.description.abstractAbstract: Effective decision making is the crucial ingredient that results to success in all dimensions in life. It’s a rigorous process that involves consideration of all possibilities before finally settling on the most appropriate. The Basic Education Curriculum Framework (2017) made a decision and recommended change of the education system in Kenya. Consequently, one of the most pronounced milestones witnessed in the education sector was the introduction of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) in 2017. The curriculum is still in its inception stages and therefore imperative that effective decisions are made which propel it to the next level until its objectives are met. This study endeavoured to explore the contributions of effective decision making in the management of education in the CBC era in Embu County, Kenya. The study targeted the 143 public secondary school principals in Embu County. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample the participants where 30% of the target group was randomly selected leading to a sample size of 43. Interview schedules and participant observation technique were used to collect data. Piloting of the instruments was done prior to the data collection exercise to test their validity and reliability. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistical techniques and presented using percentages, pie-charts, frequencies and frequency tables. The study established that effective decision making in education management creates interest to learn in learners since learning becomes more enjoyable, improves teachers’ morale to teach, creates a positive school culture and, a conducive teaching and learning environment. The study then concluded that effective decision making is a basic requirement for successful education management in the CBC eraen_US
