ABSTRACT This study undertook to identify the number of parents. Teacher's co-operation and pupils' academic performance in St. Vincent Primary School, Soy-Zone Eldoret West district. Across Sectional survey focusing primarily on sampled pupils who had performed poorly in the government officials directly involved in the implementation of programs was used. The area of study was St. Vincent Primary School, Soy-Zone Eldoret West district. The major methods used were questionnaires, oral interviews, stratified sampling by proportional allocation was employed, and document analysis. 120 respondents were interviewed, questionnaires, and a focused group discussion. Although the district local government and development partners are making a difference to ensure quality academic performance by pupils through access, retention and computation of the Primary school cycle for pupils both boys and girls, the study revealed that access to educational opportunities alone do not guarantee survival and enabling family, community and school environment is more paramount. Another finding was correlation between age of entry and length of stay of the pupils especially the girl child- education in the education system. Late school enrollment is likely to affect a student's ability to complete the cycle, leaving her a student over age for the teaching-learning activities being undertaken by the school. The psychological changes that come with adolescence require learning environment that are more responsive to pupils' needs. It was evidenced that a girl child needs an enabling environment to be a positive change agent in the community. This study has clearly shown that ensuring girls and boys benefit equally from the school system requires nothing less than the integration of gender equality concern in the design and implementation of education strategies
