dc.description.abstractThe research was on the assessment of the practice of initiation of the Agikuyu adolescents into adulthood from the view point of Ericksonian theory of human development in Limuru town. Parents and adolescents were interviewed. The data was analyzed qualitatively. The researcher found that traditional initiation had some negative influence on the education of boys of the Agikuyu ethnic group. They were dropping out of school on the pretext that they were now adults, indiscipline in schools and problems in paying school fees after spending so much on traditional initiation rites. The positive influence that traditional initiation of boys was found to have on their education was that after initiation, some boys take schooling more seriously and work hard as they realize that they are now adults who should take responsibility of their actions, decisions and lives. There are a number of ways of curbing the negative influence traditional initiation of boys has on their education, such as parents being sensitized to explain to their on the benefits of modern education, making the boys undergo initiation rites at an advanced age probably 1 7years to curb instances of being lured to think that they are adults and hence drop out of school and sponsors chosen for the initiates should be those who value modern education while in seclusion camps.en_US
