Abstract
This study undertook to identify the number of parents. Teacher's co-operation and pupils'
academic performance in St. Vincent Primary School, Soy-Zone Eldoret West district.
Across Sectional survey focusing primarily on sampled pupils who had performed poorly in the
government officials directly involved in the implementation of programs was used. The area of
study was St. Vincent Primary School, Soy-Zone Eldoret West district. The major methods
used were questionnaires, oral interviews, stratified sampling by proportional allocation was
employed, and document analysis. 120 respondents were interviewed, questionnaires, and a
focused group discussion. Although the district local government and development partners are
making a difference to ensure quality academic performance by pupils through access, retention
and computation of the Primary school cycle for pupils both boys and girls, the study revealed
that access to educational opportunities alone do not guarantee survival and enabling family,
community and school environment is more paramount. Another finding was correlation
between age of entry and length of stay of the pupils especially the girl child- education in the
education system. Late school enrollment is likely to affect a student's ability to complete the
cycle, leaving her a student over age for the teaching-learning activities being undertaken by the
school. The psychological changes that come with adolescence require learning environment that
are more responsive to pupils' needs. It was evidenced that a girl child needs an enabling
environment to be a positive change agent in the community. This study has clearly shown that
ensuring girls and boys benefit equally from the school system requires nothing less than the
integration of gender equality concern in the design and implementation of education strategies

hope that this information will be useful to the relevant ministries, non-governmental
organization, Eldoret West district and to the community to promote the quality of education in
