Abstract
Education is one of the most important sector which has
undergone through tremendous growth and development in
all its spheres. Providing education to a generation has
always been an expensive undertaking to both the parents
and the government. This implies that to implement the
curriculum there has to be a provision of educational facilities
and services whose costs have been soaring with time.
The population has also been on the mcrease which
implies that there has been a tremendous increase in the
demand for education. This has resulted in a big budget to
fmancing education. It is therefore imperative that the meagre
resources that are available have to managed and utilised
well.
It is against this background that that the researcher
formulated the problem of the study in the light of the
problems faced by the headteachers in their attempt to
effecting fmance that their school programmes require.
This study also sought to look into the financial
management practices and problems experienced in the
process.
The study was a descriptive survey, carried out in secondary
schools in Nyamarambe Division, Gucha District. The
questionnaires were provided to headteachers and bursars of
the said schools. There was a review of literature made which
was related to the study being undertaken.
Data was analysed using descriptive statistics like
means and percentages and presented in tables.
The study found out that that although the
headteachers prepared budgets, they were greatly hampered
in accounting.
The researcher recommends that any attempt to manage
funds well must be made contingent to performing well.
