Undoubtedly, it was natural that ^nglisli settlers and administrators wished to provide an education comparable to the very best they could find in i-ngland - the unglish Public s c h o o ls • »hat were and are these aspects of the ~nglish Public achoolV If an alien transplantation of the mnglish public school did take place (and it is the author's hypothesis that this was soy, to what extent was it planned government policy? did individuals, private institutions or organisations play a significant role? If so, how did they achieve their goals? It is to be remembered tliat prior to p olitical independence in Kenya, there were four sectors of education - European, Asian, African and Arab representing the main strata of society. how far did the junglish public school tradition dominate the European sector and perhaps influence the other sectors? how lias the tradition fared with independence and the new Kenya government policy of African socialism which embraces an entirely different philosophy? lastly, what of the future? ohould the i^nglish public school tradition be allowed to continue in its present form and function? The foregoing are the Questions the author attempts to answer in his thesis. humorous schools v are taken as a basis for study; the closest study is naturally made of the former European Secondary B o a rd in g Schools because on these the author's hypothesis rests. In 1861 in England, the Clarendon Commission *1 inQuired into "the Nine" so too, 1 propose in my thesis and the kenya context, to establish "the Three" - the Prince of Wales school (renamed 1966 Nairobi School), the Duke of York school (renamed 19&9 Lenana School) and the Kenya High School. It is significant that the Orninde Keport selected these high cost schools and compared them to the two most prominent African schools, Alliance High School and Alliance *2 Girls' High School. It was also significant that these three schools met together regularly, concerning common educational issues, and instituted among other things "The Three Chapels Pund". The Chapel with its Chaplain is an important aspect of the English public school tradition. Lastly, "the Three" are the oldest schools of the former Colonial Government European secondary Boarding Schools. The main method o f study has been by personal interview of individuals, organisers, administrators, teachers and students (a lis t of people interviewed both in the United kingdom and .bast Africa is appended); furthermore the author lias been involved as Teacher, *1 The Clarendon Commission was a Koyal Commission in kngland inQuiring into "the Nine"* Lton, Winchester, Westminster, Charterhouse, Harrow, Kugby, Shrewsbury, bt.

( i i i ) Head of Department, Housemaster, Deputy Headmaster and Acting Headmaster in one or the schools under study from 1962 - 1972. Thus if any method is dominant, it is the observational and historical method. At times, 1 may use scientific concepts e.g. •type * or trait but these are only empirical to the extent they rest on experience and observation rather than experiment and rigorous correlation, and should therefore be treated from an unstructured viewpoint and Qualitatively. The value-judgements and interpretations expressed are purely personal, and so too at the philosophical level of what ought to be in education. Colonial Reports, education Department Annual Reports, education Commissions and other documents are *1 examined! in addition newspaper reports and educational magazines indicate the climate of opinion from year to year in the schools and the author believes furnish evidence of use to this thesis. There is a wealth of material on English Public Schools most schools have their own written history. It is a great pity there is little evidence at Kenya schools although Ministry of education Inspection Reports help. In Kenya, use was made of the Macmillan Library, the archives of the University, and individual school *1 "Original sources may range a ll the way from oral tradition to a birth certificate, and newspaper cuttings".

In the United Kingdom, the author examined material from the Bodleian Library, Oxfords the libraries of the Universities of London, York, Edinburgh and Glasgows and the library of the Koyal Society of Medicine, London. Various organisations were approached*- the Governing Bodies Association, the Ministry of Overseas development, representatives of Parents Associations, Old Boys and Old Girls Societies, and I wish to thank especially the Headmasters' Conference, Lngland, for allowing perusal of documents and a three day attendance at their annual conference 1970 - 1971 at St. Ldmunds Hall, Oxford. The thesis is divided into four parts. Part I defines the Knglish public school and examines the Lnglish public school tradition. Part II traces the establishment, rise and prominence of the European government secondary boarding school in the context of secondary education in Kenya. It examines in detail •'the Three" - Nairobi School (formerly the Prince of Wales School P0WS)» Lenana School (form erly the duke of York School BOYS) t and the Kenya High School KHS, as a case-study of the former Luropean government Secondary boarding schools. Comparisons are made with other secondary schools in Kenya in order to emphasise and highlight certain characteristics indicative of the stronger influences of the Lnglish public school tradition. Part III regards the transplantation of the Knglish public school tradition as an aspect of colonialism, its effects on other Kenyan schools, and notes the conflict with African aims at Independence and after. Part IV looks at the future for these high cost schools in the context of Kenyan secondary ed u ca tio n . PAKT 1 CUAFT^v X. lj>.

In every sphere of school life, the rapid turn-over of staff, and their frequent disappearance overseas, is detrimental to healthy growth. Thus, this Impala, which should have been published a year ago, has passed through several Editors, which held up the primary collation; has survived the Printing Press changing hands, and the consequent loss of the lino-typist; and despite our present frinter being unable to get a work-permit for a dif•erent lino-typisf, and having to rely on a part- time typist, Impala has appeared, albeit almost a twelvemonth in arrears. We have decided that in future a smaller Impala will appear twice a year, with a greater emphasis on being a creative magazine, rather than purely a school record. We hope that the first edition of the year will carry the summarised record of the previous year, while t h e second edition will cover events with more topical -relevance than the present edition does.

  • Marren Akoth AWITI, IBVM Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Canon
    FORMATION OF WOMEN RELIGIOUS DURING THE PERIOD OF TEMPORARY VOWS WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE RELIGIOUS INSTITUTE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (LORETO SISTERS) Marren Akoth AWITI, IBVM Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Canon Law, Saint Paul University, Ottawa, Canada, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Canon Law Faculty of Canon Law Saint Paul University ©Marren Akoth AWITI, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ii ABSTRACT The Church instructs that the formation of religious after first profession, already begun in the novitiate, is to be perfected so that they may acquire the necessary maturity to lead the life of the institute more fully and to carry out its mission more effectively, mindful of the needs of the Church, mission of the institute and condition of people and times (c. 659 § 1). Formation after first profession for non-clerical religious is an innovation of Vatican II. The document Renovationis causam recognizes the necessity and significance of post-novitiate formation in helping the temporarily professed religious attain the required growth towards maturity necessary for permanent commitment. With the promulgation of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, post-novitiate formation is accorded formal legislation and recognized as an intrinsic aspect of religious life. The Code specifies its aims, dimensions and pedagogy, leaving its structure and duration to be designed by individual institutes. The Church requires that each institute draw up a ratio which is structured according to the provisions of universal norms at the same time allowing some latitude for necessary adaptations of aspects which may require revision. Despite the provisions specified in the universal law, together with further directives given in subsequent Holy See documents, formation of religious continues to be a constant challenge to the Church as well as religious institutes.

Dean, School of Education, Kenyatta University PO BOX 43844, Nairobi Kenya. 3. Senior Lecturer, Department of Educational Management, Policy and Curriculum Studies Kenyatta University PO BOX 43844, Nairobi Kenya Abstract Sexual Harassment (SH) is a global phenomenon and a pervasive problem that affects thousands of students in learning institutions daily yet there are few studies exploring its effect on students’ self-esteem especially from the Kenyan context. Sexual harassment is also considered a risk factor for lifelong problems including psychological ill-health and poor self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to describe and explore sexual harassment in and its effect on students’ self-esteem. The study was done in selected public and private secondary schools in 2 purposively sampled Counties in Kenya. The study was guided by a theoretical framework based on Finkelhor and Browne’s Traumagenic Dynamics Model. The design of the study was descriptive survey targeting 23,659 students, 88 Deputy Principals and 88 Heads of G/C. Samples were obtained through purposive and proportionate simple random sampling. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected using a School Sexual Harassment Questionnaire (SSHQ), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), interview and Focus Group Discussion (FGDs) guides.
