From the total sample size of 285, 98.2% representing 280 questionnaires for trainers were positively responded to the case request. Findings from the linear regression model, (R2 = .021) indicated that management of curriculum account for 2.1% variation in implementation of TPAD policy. There was a positive significant effect of management of curriculum (β4 = 0.094, P< 0.001) on implementation of TPAD policy. Conclusion: The present study rejected the null hypothesis and concludes that the relationship is statistically significant. The sample data support the notion that the relationship between the independent variable and dependent variable exists in the population of public secondary schools in Transnzoia Kenya. Thus the hypothesis (Ho1) was rejected. This implies that effective management of curriculum influence implementation of TPAD policy.
