Assessment of the Energy Efficiency Programmes Within the Internal Operations of Nairobi City County Government ,a Case Study of CBD Region

Abstract

The aim of the research was to look into how socioeconomic influences affect students' educational achievements in the public secondary schools in the Dagoretti South sub-county. The study's objectives were to find any connections amid paternal education and pupils' achievement as well as between parental wealth and academic success. The survey's descriptive survey design was utilized. 879 pupils and 18 classroom teachers made up the study's target population. Purposive sampling, simple random sampling, and stratified random sampling were all utilized in the survey. The survey used for the study has both closed and open questions. Data were analyzed using SPSS social science software version 28, which also generated descriptive statistics such as mean and proportions. The study's key conclusions were that parental education level had no bearing on the academic success of the student. Parental engagement in their children's schooling, parental proceeds, and the monetary and physical maintenance their parents provide to their children affect student achievement. These conclusions led to the following recommendations: In order to encourage parental involvement, government representatives should educate parents about the need of being actively engaged in their kids' education. The administration of the school should encourage parent-school cooperation and should urge parents to buy the supplies they require for greater academic success. Encourage parents of day students in particular to buy additional textbooks and educational supplies for their kids to use at home. All secondary schools should receive the textbooks and other educational materials needed by secondary school students from the government. Most parents struggle to pay their children's tuition on time because of intermittent income and poverty; as a result, the government must provide scholarships to underprivileged children. Given that the survey was conceded out in a rural location, it is essential to undertake a study of this kind in an urban background in other districts to determine whether the outcomes are consistent.
