    (Kampala International University, Institute of Open and Distance Learning, 2009-09) Rerimoi, Mary
    The focus of his research was on girl's school drop out and academic performance case study of selected schools in Kabarnet division m Baringo central district in Kenya The objectives were to establish the cause of girls school dropout among pupils. According PC Tum; Educational Trends in Kenya A vocational perspective children from less privileged families financially who enter First class of primary school do not complete their primary school education because socio and economic reasons force them out mid-way while those from families which are better off financially will continue with secondary education even when they do not quality to proceed because such parents do everything convened to see to it that their children continue in their pursuit of education un-hampered From my research ,it was found of those children many of whom were girls was dropped between classes four and six come from poor families confirming the fact that poverty plays an important role in student school dropout. Those who remain in school get married late and others remain permanently unmarried though well read. On this note therefore, it can be concluded that the problem of high girl school dropout develop around poverty and the parents attitude towards the girl child education.
