Abstract

The performance in Kenyan Certificate of Primary education (KCPE) is very crucial in determining the learner's final grade in Kenya Certificate of Secondary the learners get admitted to, they can improve, maintain or drop.

The specific objectives of the study were to analyze the relationship between entry marks and final grade, to verify whether entry marks impacted on the final performance, to test the null hypothesis that the entry marks had a direct impact on KCSE and to test the null hypothesis that the 15 schools selected had differences in their means at 1% and 5% significance levels. The study was carried out in Nyamira district public secondary schools in Nyamjra County which are National, provincial and district. The data used in this study comprised of 48 schools of which a sample of 15 schools was .used to select a sample of the accessible schools. A sample of 572 students of which .'348 were girls and 224 were boys was analyzed. Given the reliability of regression analysis and one way Anova, the result would be used to alert the management, stakeholders and parents the level of learners and the strategies needs to achieve desirable results. Furthermore, it will let educators know the existing situation and suggest away forward to improve the situation.
