Answer 1

Factors that affect operations in schools

A pestle analysis is a tool that can provide prompt to the governors, management and staff involved in the analysis of the changes of the school’s environment that could impact future finance, planning and management decisions. It can enable any school carry out more comprehensive analysis. In a school like Jomo Kenyatta University of agriculture and technology political legal forces that has affected the school in the last decade are:

The school being required to be self-financing: This is a political factor that has highly affected schools since it is not very simple for a school to fund itself especially if the school is government sponsored.

The school is also required to be self managing: this is another legal thing that causes schools to fail since the management level depends on the leaders in the school. If there is a leader with poor qualities, then the school fails in terms of quality and maybe financially.

Other political legal factors that have been affecting the school over the last decade is the changes in the curriculum with short lead times, changes to the skills required to be a t.utor in the school, and also the government initiative that creates risks that the school may fail to deliver the school’s policy.

The economic forces that affect the school are:

Central or local government funding decisions affect the school’s finances, the ability of a school to raise funds for optional activities in the school, the cost of providing services has also affected the school in a very big way, shortages of materials in the school also affects the school and also the risk of the highly valued, and also key staff moving on to more “upcoming” schools that pay better.

The social factors that affect the school are:

The reduction in birth rate have made the school have a low population, social networking have also been affecting the school, integrating with the local community, integration of students with social needs and also the staff are not given enough training so as to effectively change their habits and how they expect information to be made available.

The technological factors that affect the school are:

In the last decade there has been changes to standards and equipments that have been required, there has also been risk of selecting the wrong technology at the times of change, new computer viruses affects the schools operations, illegal images in the internet may affect the ICT security measures, computer hardwires being out of date is another factor and lastly but not least are the computer software that should be updated often being out of date. This causes loss of vital information from the school.
