The Kenyan government introduced Free Day Secondary Education in 2008 to fulfill Education for All, but increased enrollment has strained teaching resources and human resources, leaving key aspects of resource mobilization unknown. This study was to investigate Resource Mobilization in the Implementation of Free Day Secondary School Education in Emgwen sub-county, Nandi County, Kenya. The study answered the following questions; Establish the influence of stakeholder’s involvement in resource mobilization and implementation of FDSSE, alternative strategies employed in resource mobilization and implementation of FDSSE, community participation in resource mobilization and implementation of FDSSE and the level of government commitment towards resource mobilization and implementation of Free Day Secondary School Education in Emgwen Sub-County. The study, based on Mollenkopf & Melville, Goodman and Coleman Resource Mobilization Theory, used a descriptive survey design to survey 17 Day Secondary Schools, including principals, sub-directors, quality assurance officers, BOM chairpersons, parent representatives, and teachers. The study used random sampling to select principals, BOM chairpersons, parent class representatives, and teachers, while purposive sampling was used for the Sub County Director of Education and Quality Assurance and Standards officer. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observation schedules. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to determine reliability of the instruments and a coefficient of 0.55 was obtained which was above the recommended value of 0.5. while validity was determined by consulting with the supervisors, experts in research and colleagues from the school of Education Management and Policy Studies, University of Eldoret. Data collected were presented on tables. Findings from the study showed that: Stakeholders involvement play a big role in resource mobilization and the implementation of free day secondary school education, they are involved in resource mobilization hence always participating in decision making, they ensure availability of the right instructional resources and therefore cooperation of all stakeholders ensured proper implementation of FDSSE. The study highlights the importance of alternative strategies in implementing FDSSE, including government support, community participation, and resource networking. It emphasizes the significance of government commitment and regular access to resources. The study suggests implementing effective policies for school resource mobilization, revisiting the FDSSE program to increase enrollment, and exploring alternative methods like income-generating activities for development.
