AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DISCIPLINARY PRACTICES THAT INFLUENCE THE STUDENT UNREST IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN MERU COUNTY, KENYA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since Kenya attained independence in 1963, students’ unrest in public secondary schools has
been on the rise, and thus students’ academic achievements and subsequently the economic
progress of Kenya has suffered the negative consequences of strikes. The purpose of the study
was to investigate the disciplinary factors that influence the student unrest in public secondary
schools in Meru County, Kenya. The research found that most schools do not follow progressive
discipline practices, and most schools did not have discipline committees where students who
felt unfairly treated can appeal the decision. Most of the disciplinary was done by student
leadership councils, and all public secondary school had rules and regulations that are known by
staff members and students.
