Effects Of Girls School Drop Out On Academic Performance In Kyuso Division, Kyuso District, Kenya

ABSTRACT

The general objective of the study was to determine the causes of school drop out on girls

in Kyuso Division, Kyuso District, Kenya and come up with possible strategies to solve

the problem. In the collection of data, all sources viewed relevant to this particular study

were revisited and employed. This study used a descliptive cross sectional survey. The

research used both the qualitative and quantitative analysis approaches in order to get a

bigger picture both in number and data.

Since the main purpose of the study was to determine the factors that hindered girls'

accessibility of education which was blamed more on socio-economic factors. Girls were

found to perfo1m as well as boys so performance does not contribute to girls dropp ing out

of school., It was established that nutrition was very important to the growth and

development of a child and that poor nutrition led to diseases hence poor school

attendance leading to school drop out.

It was recommended that both the parents and the community should be sensitized on the

importance of proper and stable fa mily background and how they influence child

development
