Abstract

Despite efforts to improve teacher retention, turnover is still a problem in Kenya's northern public schools. However, the consistency and continuity of teaching and learning processes are hampered by teacher turnover. These experiences prompted this study to investigate perceived security and teacher turnover in the public schools in the Northern region of Kenya. The target population included 89 non native teachers from public schools in the Northen part of Kenya. A sample 29 teachers (non-native) were selected using snowball sampling method. To collect data from teachers a questionnaire was used. Weighted averages, percentages, means, standard deviations, correlation and linear regression were all used in the data analysis. The study concluded that the perceived security played a significant role in non-native teachers turnover in the Northern region of Kenya.
