girl child education. The study also examined the impact of learner's attitude towards
learning science.
The study used across -sectional survey design to analyze both quantitative and

respondents.
The researcher used a questionnaire instrument, observation and interview guide to
collect data.
The findings indicated that learners attitude has a major impact on performance of
science in standard four due to poor attitude of the learners the findings indicated high
rate of failure in sciences. The findings also indicated that the majority of the learners do
not want to take sciences due to biasness hence greatly affecting performance of sciences.

course because it is very important and easy like any other subject. The schools should
also make science course a must in standard four to encourage learners take on such
