Cross-sectional survey examines how headteachers' demographic characteristics influence academic achievement in public primary schools, revealing important moderating effects.

Key Points

Headteachers' controlling management practices were prevalent in West Pokot County schools, positively correlating with KCPE mean scores.
Moderation analysis showed a decrease in variance explained, from 83.9% to 50.3%, highlighting the impact of demographic factors.
Teaching experience displayed a negative significant effect on KCPE mean scores in the moderation model, suggesting ineffective management practices.
