dc.description.abstractIt was the aim of the researcher to study the causes of indiscipline affecting secondary schools of Kitui district. In order to achieve this, the research questions were developed. First, the researcher studied the common recorded causes of indiscipline experienced in the selected secondary schools. Second, the researcher identified the measures used by the school administrators on students with the problems of indiscipline in the selected secondary schools. Third, the researcher established that the schools which had most cases of indiscipline experienced a decline in K.C.S.E examinations. The schools that had the list cases of indiscipline achieved higher mean scores in the National Examinations than those with more cases of indiscipline. In order to acquire data related to the research questions, two questionnaires were prepared, validated and administered. The captured data was then analyzed and several deductions were made. The researcher established that the problem of indiscipline in students was rife in the secondary schools of Kitui District. Each school had various numbers of cases of indiscipline reported per week. In addition, the rate of cases of indiscipline was varying in nature though common in most of the schools. The researcher also found out that the cases of indiscipline, expulsion and suspension were more in boys' schools and in mixed schools than in girls' schools. In addition, girls' schools had improved performance in National Examinations while boys' schools recorded a decline. The researcher also established that the schools that had a high number of cases of indiscipline attained lower mean grades or recorded declining indexes in the National Examinations. For some schools, the declining performance was significant while for others it was not significant.en_US
