ABSTRACT
A descriptive study was undertaken in selected primary schools of Suneka zone with a purpose of investigating the effect of discipline on student’s performance in school. The following objectives guided the study; establish the history ofdiscipline of students in schools and how it affected their academic performance; to establish environmental factors that influence indiscipline of pupils; to identify the common cases of indisciplined children in the primary schools of Suneka. The following were discovered; that discipline was partly to be blamed on teachers who inflicted some form of abuse to the learners. In other words the expressive culture of most schools reflected some form of indiscipline. It was also found out that some learners abused substances and others were involved in gangsters activities. These were all contributing to indiscipline in schools. It was recommended that guidance and counselling services be put in place.
CHAPTER ONE
INRODUCTION
The policy of Free Primary Education (FPE), implemented from 2003 by the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) government and which increased school enrolment from 87 to 104 percent, was widely welcomed. Textbooks and learning materials provided through the FPE program were evident in most all primary schools in sample communities. However, this expansion has come at the cost of poorer quality. Classes have become unmanageably numerous and large relative to the number of teachers: one primary school in Nakuru had 14 streams, but only seven public service teachers, who were supplemented by three more paid by the community.
