This paper presents the findings of a study undertaken to investigate the influence of school environmental factors on the teaching-learning process in public primary schools in Bungoma south sub-county, Bungoma County, Kenya. A descriptive survey research design was used. The target population was the Head Teachers/deputy head teachers, Class Teachers, and Pupils in the Public Primary Schools in Bungoma south Sub-county, Bungoma County. Stratified sampling, Simple random sampling and Purposive sampling were used. A sample size of 30 % of the target population was used. Primary data was collected using Questionnaires and Focus group discussions. Data was analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Results of this study showed that sufficiency of physical facilities specifically adequacy of classrooms significantly affect the teaching-learning process. Those who reported having adequate classrooms performed...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of father absence on academic performance among secondary school students. The study sought to achieve the following specific objectives: To investigate the difference between academic performance of father absent and father present students; To determine the difference between academic performance of father absent and father present boys; and to establish the difference between academic performance of father absent and father present girls. The study was based on Carl Rogers self-theory. Purposive sampling was used to select students from father absent families while random sampling was used to select the students from father present families. An average of three end term examinations served as an index of academic performance. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics was also used to compare the results specifically students t-test. The findings revealed that students from father absent family perform poorly in school as compared to their counterparts from intact homes. The mean of students from father absent family was 10.66 while that of students from father present family was 20.178. This meant that there was a significant difference in academic performance of father absent and father present students. It was also established that boys from father absent family performed poorly in school as compared to their counterparts from father present homes. The study established that girls from father absent family performed poorly in school as compared to their counterparts from father present homes. The study recommends that fathers as well as mothers should have the right to some time off work to visit the school and that parents should spare enough time to make meaningful relationships with children that can enhance academic performance.

The findings of this study will be significant to the Ministry of Education in terms of providing additional information for policy formulation in public primary schools. Descriptive survey research design was used. The target population was the head teachers/deputy head teachers, class teachers, and pupils in the public primary schools in Bungoma South Sub-County, Bungoma County. A combination of stratified sampling, simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used. In a case where there was more than one stream in a class, simple random sampling was used to select one class teacher from each stream. A sample size of 30 % of the target population was used. Primary data was used and collected using questionnaires and focus group discussions. Results of this study showed that sufficiency of physical facilities-specifically adequacy of classrooms significantly affect the teaching-learning process. Those who reported having adequate classrooms performed better than those who reported inadequacy (Z=1.776, 0.046). The study concluded that among the physical facilities, adequacy of classrooms was the only factor that significantly affected teaching and learning whereby adequate classrooms positively affected, while inadequate classrooms negatively affected teaching and learning. The study therefore recommends that national and county governments should ensure that classrooms are adequate in public primary schools.
