Item Factors That Affect the Performance Of Girl Child in Education(Tangaza University College, 2004-05) Getahun, MuluneshThe study was carried out at Allamano Children's Hope in Riara Ridge, Kiambu District and it aimed at identifying the factors that affect the performance of girls in education. The introduction of the study highlights the importance of education, presents a brief background of Allamano Children's Hope as well as a background to the problem. The objectives of the study were to identify the economic problems that affect girls' academic achievement, to identify the cultural factors that affect girls' academic achievement, to determine social setting that affects girls' academic achievement; and to suggest ways in which of providing opportunities in education for girls. The girls, teachers and their parents participated in the study. The data was collected through questionnaires designed for students, teachers and parents using percentage and frequencies. The study identified that majority of the girls came from poor families and were above 13 years of age. The single mothers whose daily living depended on tea and coffee- picking did not have a stable source of income. Other effects were observed where many girls face the problems of domestic work, responsibilities of homes and forced marriage. Girls were cruelly treated when they refused early marriage and commercial sex and others sent away from home. Even though the girls have a good relationship with other pupils. some experience problems in coping with their body change. Lastly, all girls were in need of financial support, in order to have basic education, which is why they attend school at Allamano Children's Hope. The research recommended that parents, teachers and every individual should encourage and collaborate in educating girls. This could be done through creating awareness to parents that girls should also go to school and be given free education from the nursery level. It is important to organize seminars for parents of those concerned. Parents should delay the early marriage of girls by giving them opportunities of going to school so as to fulfil their dreams in future.Item Caring and Educating The Physically Impaired Children(Tangaza University College, 2001-05-18) Mutiswa, AlexanderPhysical impairment does not in any way dehumanise a child but it only limits the child from getting things done fast in the same way as the able counterparts. The important thing in life is to learn to live positively. The purpose of educating and caring for the physically impaired is to support them with tools to meet their challenges. They are faced with challenges due to negative attitudes right from home, school and the community at large. Many people have come to their aid. This is evident in Machakos school of the Disabled, where teachers have worked very hard to improve the lives of the physically impaired. There are other parties who have done a lot to help the physically impaired. There are none Governmental Organisations like the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organisation (WHO), which have invested heavily on projects of physically impaired children. However, the researcher observes that the problem at present is not the finances or impairment rather the attributes towards the physically impaired. They continue facing unbecoming responses from the physically abled people. The researcher wonders whether we can an atmosphere acceptance where the physically impaired are not viewed as burden, and not discriminated in education and care. (this sentence seems not clear)). Further studies can arise as the researcher confirms that the physically impaired children are human beings with dignity and can achieve very highly in educational sphere.Item Instilling Discipline In Students through Educators As Paradigms(Tangaza University College, 2000-05) Anyango, PhoebeLearning institutions have many problems related to discipline.
