Abstract	This paper sought to assess head teachers' effectiveness in the management of school financial resources in Bomet sub-county. Head teachers' effectiveness in managing financial resources is determined by the way they perform their roles as required by the Ministry of Education. Descriptive survey research design was used. A sample of 120 head teachers was selected from a population of 174 head teachers of public primary schools in Bomet sub-county. A proportionate and simple random sampling technique was used. Questionnaire for head teachers were used to collect data. The data was analysed using the statistical package of social sciences (SPSS)version 11.5. Frequencies and percentages were computed to determine effectiveness of head teachers in managing school finances. Most of the head teachers were found to be ineffective in the management of school finances because they were already overworked with administrative duties and class work. It is recommended that the Government consider employing accounts clerk to assist head teachers in proper management of school of school finances. The study is great value to all stakeholders in education in enhancing head teachers' effectiveness in managing school finances. This is because the stakeholders can utilise the research findings to intensify school-based in-service trainings at the divisional levels to benefit head teachers on the various ways of ensuring effective management of school finances. Further, it is hoped that the findings will be used by the Government in the formulation of education policies which would focus on effective management of financial resources in public primary schools in Kenya.
