Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find out that the effect of school
administration on students discipline at St. Brigid’s Girls’ High School in Kiminini
Division Trans-Nzoia District
Data was collected from thirty students who are sampled using systematic
random sampling, ten teachers who are purposely sampled and the head
teacher. Data was collected by use of questionnaires, interview schedules and
analysis of documents. Data as analyzed using frequency distributions and
percentages.
The research findings revealed that the discipline of students is mainly
determined by the way the head teacher performs her obligations. It was found
that there was effective communication between the learners and the teaching
staff. Major causes of indiscipline in the school were attributed to poor
governance and administration of the previous head teachers. Students were not
involved in the decision making process of the school. There was good
governance and administration, of the school which was reflected through good
relationship that existed between the learners and the teaching staff.
It is recommended that the Ministry of Education in partnership with
Kenya Institute of Education conduct country wide research to establish the
major variables that affect the discipline of students so as to curb the increasing
cases of indiscipline in schools. It is also recommended that the administrators
are equipped with knowledge and skills of management through work shops and
seminars.
This will help to create good administration, which enhances positive co
existence among members by promoting trust and hence improving discipline of
the students, teaching staff and the non teaching staff.
