Science Education in Kenyan Secondary Schools

Abstract

Science Education is practical, which equips students with concepts and skills that are useful in solving the day-to day problems of life. The study of science subjects aims at providing the learner with the necessary knowledge with which to control or change the environment for the benefit of an individual, family or community. However, the secondary school students’ performance in these subjects in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in NYAMIRA District has been quite low over the years.
