 Abstract 

 

The availability of physical resources is critical to the effective implementation of a competency-based curriculum in secondary education. It is critical to have enough physical facilities in order to improve educational quality through the implementation of a Competency-Based Curriculum. The study adopted a mixed research approach under which a convergent parallel design was used. The targeted population consisted of 689 individuals. 5 public secondary schools from Kilolo District were involved and a total sample of 87 respondents which include 1 District Secondary Education Officer, 5 heads of public secondary schools and 81 teachers were involved in the study. Simple random and purposive samplings were employed. The study used questionnaire, interview and observation to collect data. A pilot study was used to test the validity of the research instrument while the Cronbach alpha technique was used to calculate the reliability in which the Coefficient Index of 0.72 was obtained. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics with the help of SPSS version 20 while qualitative data was analysed thematically. The study found that fundraisings were not effectively used in acquiring resources required in the CBC curriculum. The study recommended that for secondary schools to implement Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) effectively, there is a need not to rely on a single method in mobilizing resources for secondary schools instead, they have to employ different strategies of resource mobilization to ensure the acquisition of the wanted resources for of competency-based curriculum implementation in secondary education.
