Education

The purpose of this research was to investigate how frequency of classes influence the effective management of the physical education curriculum in higher grades within Kenyan public primary schools located in the Meru South Sub County of the Tharaka Nithi County. The work was based on Frederick Taylor's Scientific Management Theory as its theoretical foundation. The research approach for this study was a descriptive survey, and it integrated both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The investigation was carried out in the Tharaka Nithi County neighborhood of Meru South Sub-County. In total, there were 57 upper primary school teachers and 19 principals represented in the sample. In order to obtain data from teachers and school administrators, questionnaires were used. The statistical analysis was done with SPSS, which stands for the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. According to the findings of the study, there are significant advantages to providing learners in higher grades with regular opportunities to participate in physical education. However, it was also found that the implementation of physical education does not entirely match with the policy guidelines of the Ministry of Education. This was determined to be mostly due to the lack of suitable physical education facilities and resources in primary schools. Nevertheless, it was discovered that the implementation of physical education does not fully align with the policy guidelines of the Ministry of Education
