Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the causes of pupils dropping out of schools in Meta sub- county Moyo district. The main problem of this study was that despite the government's effort to promote education, pupils still drop out of schools. Factors leading to the causes of primary school drop outs have not been adequately investigated. Focused Group Discussion (FGD) were used in obtaining information that was not easily obtained through face to face interviews or questionnaires. The study found out that most causes of drop outs were poor administration and management which encouraged indiscriminate canning of pupils, name calling by teachers and lack of creativity which made schools to be boring to learners. Recommendations have been made on how to stop the drop out in order to have hundred percent school completion.
