Abstract
This study analyzed how the background characteristics of female
principals and their deputies might have affected their upward mobility
to management positions in the education sector. Specifically, the study
objectives were; established whether there is a statistical significant
difference between the age of female principal’s teachers’ and their
upward mobility, determine whether there is a statistical significant
difference between gender and career mobility of female principal
teachers, and determine whether the level of education of female
principal teachers was a hindrance to their upward mobility. With a
sample size of sample size of 376 (n) respondents, comprising of; 76
female principals, 78 male principals, 178 deputy female principals,22
sub-county education officers, and 22 Quality Assurance and Standards
Officers. The study used questionnaires and interview schedules to
collect requisite data. The study established that there was no statistical
significant difference between; age, gender, and level of education on
upward mobility of female principal teachers. The study recommends
that there is no justification for administrative or legal measures to
insulate female principals against their background characteristics in
enhancing their upward mobility to principalship.
