ABSTRACT
Policy-makers and the public generally agree that teacher training is valuable. But
agreement ends when it comes to figuring out how best to train the state’s educators. Many
expect new teaching recruits to arrive in the classroom —just out of college and with a
smattering of student teaching under their belts — ready to go. They expect teachers to be
armed with the right tools and skills, but reality has taught us this doesn’t happen
Recent research statistics has shown that student’s academic performance is falling in a
worrying trend. Kenyans cannot afford to complacent about it, thus their arise an
immediate need to conduct an investigation on the issue of teachers quality to establish
whether it’s a factor contributing to the falling academic performance.
The study adopted a Descriptive research design. This enhanced the researcher to obtain a
better understanding of the causes and impact of teacher quality on academic performance
of students in Kandara Division,Muranga South district. The method chosen allowed a
collection of comprehensive and intensive data and provided an in-depth understanding of
the topic under study.
Information collected was analyzed and edited to create consistency and completeness.
After collecting the questionnaires they were edited for completeness and consistency
across the respondents and to locate omissions. Information obtained from the research
study was presented and analyzed using bar charts, narratives, and statistical figures.
This report provides suggestions for more effective ways to enhancing teachers quality as a
measure to stem the falling academic performance by pupils.It is designed for policy
makers, planners and stakeholders who have responsibilities in the education sector in Kenya.
