Factors that lead to indiscipline in public secondary schools in Nairobi
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate factors that lead to indiscipline in
secondary schools in Nairobi. The study was concerned with student's validation
of measures suggested by the government to curb student's unrest in Kenyan
Secondary Schools. To achieve this, the researcher used descriptive survey
design. Random sampling technique identified the students of schools selected.
Data was collected by administering questionnaires to form four and form two
students. A cross section of suggested measures of curbing student's unrest was
presented to the students for validation. Data collected analyzed quantitatively
and qualitatively. The analyzed data was presented in the form of frequency
distribution tables, bar graphs, pie charts and brief discussions. A student
validated list of measures for curbing students' unrest was produced. The study I
also captured measures which were omitted by the ministry of education.
Based on the above, the study recommends that the policy makers study the
new list suggested by the students as they look at theis own recommendations
that were rated highly by the students. In this way a new list will emerge that
accommodates and reflects a synthesis of the views of all stakeholders in the
education sector and it is hoped that this will reduce and if possible eliminate
unrests in secondary schools.
