ABSTRACT
This study focused on the impacts of strikes on academic performance of
students in some selected secondary schools in Bukwo District. The objectives
of the study focused on the causes of strikes, relationship between strikes and
academic performance of students and ways to curb strikes and improve
academic performance of students in the selected secondary schools. A case
study design was used and 70 respondents were sampled through simple
random sampling and purposive sampling methods. Interview, and
questionnaire were the instruments used and both primary and secondary
sources of literature review formed part of this research. This study focused on
how strikes were caused by different factors right from family background,
school, ‘and external’ influences. Direct relationship between strikes and
academic performance of students was observed in that if there were strikes in
school students’ performance were likely to be low and the reverse is true.
Appropriate strategies were suggested to curb the phenomenon of strikes and
improve academic performance in the selected secondary schools. Some of
these included building disciplinary committees, listening and addressing
student’s problems, coordinating with parents, teachers and forming student’s
forum among others. The researcher recommended on the student’s deviant
behaviors that tend to lead to strikes and was to be controlled at all costs if better academic performance is to be achieved.
