Abstract
Despite the introduction of Free Secondary Education Secondary, schools in Kenya
have been performing poorly in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education
examinations. Both the schools and individual Students have not yet accrued to the full
benefits of FSE. This study investigated the causes of poor academic performance
among Students in selected schools within Kigumo district, Kenya.
The study employed casual- comparative design that seeks to discover possible causes
and effects of behavior pattern or personal characteristics.
However a rise can be realized since the teachers are well qualified and the teaching learning
materials are there though inadequate. Students need to be encouraged to
work harder on their own supplement what they are taught by teachers. In addition the
teaching/learning resources need to be made adequate and the school needs general
improvement to be conducive to better learning.
