Abstract
The study was about the impact on HIV/AIDS on enrollment, performance and the dropout rate in ECO centers in Tigithi location
The study sampling was done by picking the first four ECO centers purposely. I purposefully sampled three public and one private ECO center.
The schools were visited to carry out the research. A questionnaire was used to collect data the data. This was done through filing gaps in the questionnaire.
The questions were based on the number of pupils enrolled in three years and drop outs in the same years.
There questions on the number of total orphans and those who have one parent: data on the performance of the orphans was given by the teachers. The study was guided by the objectives. HIV/AIDS affects enrollment in ECO centers. Performance of the orphans and children affected and infected with HIV/AIDS was affected by the disease. The other objective was on the dropout rate. The study proved that HIV/AIDS have an impact on dropout rate performance and enrollment.
I recommend that children infected and affected with HIV/AIDS should be treated with a lot of care considering guidance, counseling, provision of love, care and other physical needs e.g. shelter, clothing and food
