ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to analysis the factors affecting early childhood primary education in

Kenya, Poywech primary school, Kabiemit zone-Keiyo district was used as a case study. Data was

collected through the use of interviews accompanied by observation and questionnaires.

The study involved a sample of 50 respondents from school; these were all involved in the school’s

curriculum activities at different levels.

The study found that there are many children who go for early childhood education in the country,

but to a greater extent girls are viewed as failures to a greater extent because of negligence of the

government to sponsor the programme in time and ensuring the early childhood education is given a

special attention in primary schools

It was concluded that the teaching of learners in schools for early childhood education programme

is not being carried out as it should be in many schools. It is proved beyond reasonable doubt that

teachers face a lot of challenges while handling these children. The way forward to handle these

challenges needs a combination of many factors
