Different methods were used in collecting the data including literature review, interviews and questionnaires. The data were analysed by the use of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The analysed data are presented in the form ofdescriptions, histograms, tables and figures. The study showed that most of the respondents (about 90 percent) agreed that there were several problems that affected students’ performance in development studies though their views differed depending upon their institution.

Lastly, the study also recommends higher students effort student themselves should bear in mind that studying at higher learning institution is not a simple task, students should be hardworking, putting more effort, submissive, committed and prepared, since studying in higher learning needed enough time to learn and searching, all would help the students to perform well.
