Principals play crucial roles in providing quality education. However, due to certain challenges, quality falls below expectation. In Nyando and Muhoroni Districts, the quality of secondary education for the years 2006 through 2010 had been consistently below average, that is, mean grade of C minus (C-) in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations except in the year 2007 when the mean grade was C plain (C). This implies that quality of secondary education in the two districts according to one of their set objectives of building a firm foundation for further education and training is low. The study established that socio economic based management strategies that were used in the provision of secondary school education in the two districts were: capacity building, implementation of HIV/AIDs curriculum, establishment of boarding facilities and feeding programs, Government subsidies and bursaries, and Guidance and Counseling.
