Perceptions of Secondary School Boards of Management on Multi-Agency Security Partnerships in Preventing Student Unrest in Secondary Schools in Nyakach Sub-County, Kisumu, Kenya

Abstract This study investigates how school Boards of Management (BOM) perceive the role of a Multi-Agency Security (MAS) partnership in the prevention of school unrest. While student unrest frequently disrupts learning and destroys property in Kenyan institutions, research on school board perspectives has been limited. This research fills that gap by analysing BOM feedback on collaborating with key state actors, including the police, national administration, and intelligence services. The mixed-methods study sampled 126 BOM members alongside educational officials, principals, and student leaders within Kisumu County's Nyakach Sub-County. The findings reveal a highly positive reception toward the collaborative framework, with 89.2% of respondents agreeing that proactive multi-agency involvement can successfully prevent strikes. This statistical consensus strongly highlights the perceived value of integrating external security expertise into traditional school governance. Despite the strong endorsement, the study identifies critical bottlenecks to the partnership, such as mutual mistrust, delayed response times, and inadequate sensitisation among stakeholders. It concludes that while the MAS model is highly supported, its long-term sustainability depends on government intervention.
Keywords Board of Management, Multi-Agency Security, Partnership, prevention, school unrest.
