    Commercial Banks are encountering enormous competition from their rival financial firms.. To avoid death of commercial bank due to lack market, logical application of generic strategies is a must so that they remain competitive in the market. This research project has sought to analyze the influence of generic strategies on the competitiveness of Equity Bank Ltd, Kenya. The results from data analysed depicts that cost leadership strategy influence on competitiveness of Equity Bank Ltd in Kenya is reducing . Similarly, the influence of market segmentation strategy on competitiveness of Equity Bank Ltd is giving the Bank a good status towards winning it's business rivals. Moreover , the influence of focus strategy on the competitiveness of Equity Bank Ltd in Kenya is low .To conclude, the Equity bank Ltd in Kenya should incorporate thoroughly the sub- variables of cost leadership, differentiation and focus strategy as indicated by the conceptual framework of this researched project so as to gain more competitiveness .I recommend Equity Bank Ltd, Kenya to strengthen cost leadership and focus strategies' formulation and implementation process. Meanwhile , Equity bank Ltd should revise generic strategies so as to be more competitive globally. Meanwhile the government of Kenya should revise its policies to give longer working hours in the banking hall to reduce effects of long wait time,. Further research is needed in future on this same topic but on a global scale amidst worst scenarios like covid19 restrictions

Purpose of the Study:To assess the influence of school dynamics on the implementation of the IRE curriculum in public secondary schools in Isiolo County, Kenya.Methodology:The study utilized a mixed methodology and descriptive survey design. The target population consisted of 295 respondents, including 23 principals and 272 teachers, with a sample size of 170 determined by Yamane's Formula. Stratified sampling was used to create ten strata based on the wards in Isiolo County, with one principal selected purposively and 16 teachers randomly from each ward, resulting in a sample of 10 principals and 160 teachers. Data was collected through questionnaires for teachers and interviews for principals, and analyzed using thematic analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics, frequencies, percentages, and linear regression analysis with SPSS for quantitative data.Findings: The study established that the implementation of the IRE curriculum remains a challenge in public secondary schools in Isiolo County. Many teachers do not cover the syllabus on time, and classroom pedagogy remains unimproved, characterized by low student performance in IRE in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). This is attributed to the provision of inadequate curriculum support materials.Recommendations:Principals should partner with other stakeholders, such as Public Benefits Organizations and donors, to ensure the adequate provision of curriculum support materials
