ABSTRACT 

This research was carried out to investigate on the impacts of student strikes on their academic performance in the selected secondary schools in Kagadi district.

The major causes of student strikes largely depend on the blame of school administrators and teachers conduct toward student at school however it was also observed that other strikes were caused by the indiscipline students who cause chaos at school and end up in the strikes, poor performance and school dropout as well as body injury were the most dreadful effects of student strikes among others as discussed in Chapter two of this paper.
