| dc.description.abstract | Over the past few years poor performance has been witnessed at the Kenyan public
schools. This has especially been evidenced by the many public complaints in the media,
Human rights organizations and other respective Government organs. This therefore,
suggests the need to study factors affecting students performance. In order to operate
competitively, both nationally and internationally, public schools require performing
better in terms of improved students performance in national examinations. Dynamic
institutions, in such a set-up, are strategizing to have a massive cultural change so as
achieve remarkable changes in school performance. In this context it would be
meaningful to identify and delineate the critical factors in the school environment that
have the most positive impact on students’ performance. The main objective of the
project is to establish the factors influencing students performance in the Day Secondary
Schools in Nairobi County. Certain learning factors and student’s performance factors
are described in order to clearly understand the linkages. These factors include; school
factors and students factors. To achieve the above, the available literature on these two
variables will be reviewed to find out the relationships. A conceptual framework on the
two variables is also drawn showing the relationships between the two variables. A
research methodology will also be included showing how data will be collected and
analysed in order to give the final results. | en_US |
