This paper aims at identifying the causes of school drop out of female pupils in

East district.
The study was descriptive where stratified sampling was used to select

presentation where percentages were integrated into tables.
Direct observation interviews and visiting of different schools were used in data

It was discovered that in spite of the contributions of the government in its
program of Free Primary Education, the drop out rate of pupils from school in the
schools is still on a high rate.
It was suggested that in order to overcome the problem, there is a need for the
