​Introduction

The principal asked a group of students to find out the reasons why there is high drop out among girls at Naivasha School. The committee included:

1. Njagi Cool
2. Kimotho Macha
3. Jane Kilonzo

The study started on 3​rd​ February and ended on 10​th​ of the same month.

Procedure

​The group used different methods to gather the information. The following are the methods used collect data:

1. Questionnaire
   - About five students, among them three girls were issued with questionnaires that they filled with ease. At first they were not ready to do so but when they were assured a token, they were more willing to respond.
   - They took approximately ten minutes each to provide response to the questions and prompts.
2. Interviews
   - One of the committee members, Kimotho Macha, was appointed to lead in interviewing two students. The two students gave several reasons for the high drop out. One of them even wanted to have been included in the committee. The interviews were conducted at the school quadrangle.
3. Observation
   - One week was enough for the committee members to study the other students. It was noted, in the way they talk in small groups, why they drop out. In fact one of the female students left the school before the actual day of submitting this report.

Findings

It was found out that:

1. Since most girls are idle during the weekends, they yield to pressure from the fellow students who push them into leaving the school. While at home, majority fail to get admission in other schools.
2. Some of the students are not satisfied with the quality of the meals cooked . They feel they don’t match the amount of money they pay.
3. Add other two

Conclusions

The committee concluded that:

1. Some of the girls do not know how to make use of their free time.
2. Some of the students value food more than education services offered at the school.

Recommendations

1. The students should be guided on how to benefit from their free time.
2. The quality of meals should be improved or at least provide alternative diet to those not satisfied.
