    The purpose of this study was to identify the causes of primary school wastage in Nairobi slums. The study was based on the case of Kuwinda slum. The study has also considered possible solutions to the causes of wastage. Saints Mary's Primary School Karen was the sample school used in the research. Drop Outs of the school who are still residing in the slum were also used in the study. The study was carried out using three main instruments: questionnaire, interview and observation. Data that was collected through these instruments was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The study has observed that the main causes of drop out in the slum are largely economic The cost of education is relatively high in comparison to the incomes of the people in the slum. Besides, the phenomenon of wastage in the slum is being aggravated by other factors like unplanned families and irresponsible sexual activities.
