Abstract: The study sought to investigate implementation of laws and policies as an impediment to women teachers' ascension to leadership positions in mixed public secondary schools, focusing on Tharaka South Sub – County Kenya. The researcher used mixed research design with survey and ethnographic techniques to collect data from a target population comprising of school principals, deputy principals, and head of departments, Boards of Management members, and Parents Teachers’ Association members of Tharaka South Sub-County. Questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect data which was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The study established that the educational stakeholders are well informed about national and international laws and Government policies that support women leadership in Kenya and that however, the laws and policies are neither enforced nor implemented. The study therefore suggests deliberate efforts towards creation of a mechanism of enforcing and implementing gender laws and policies.
Keywords: Laws, Policies, women leadership, policy implementation.
