| dc.description.abstract | This study was aimed at investigating the influence of school on the existing gender disparities on primary education, in selected public primary schools of Kabarnet zone, Baringo district in Kenya The following objectives guided the study: to find out how the school structure has perpetuated gender disparities in education; to assess the components of educational processes which have been responsible for perpetuating gender disparities in education, to investigate the influence of the curriculum content on gender disparities in primary education and to find out if classroom communication influences gender biases. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the study and the respondents were selected randomly. Findings showed that there were gender disparities in primary schools. Gender stereotyped messages in schools were further unearthed as teachers gave views about girls becoming Engineers in future. Findings revealed that almost all teachers had not adapted their curricular materials except for a few. Recommendations were also made. As teachers work to encourage high motivation in all of our students, they have to focus their efforts in somewhat different directions for boys and see the relationship between their classroom performance and their long term goals. Encourage girls to consider a wide range of carrier options. A teacher can promote productive attribution of girls by communicating high expectations for their performance. | en_US |
