    The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of students’ technical competence ICT integration on the academic performance of Form Three students in public secondary schools in Kisii South Sub County, Kisii County, Kenya. The study utilized Academic Achievement Theory. A mixed- methods approach with a concurrent triangulation design was employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative approach was used to collect numerical data, while the qualitative approach aimed to understand teachers' and students' perceptions of ICT adoption and its impact on academic performance. The target population consisted of 195 teachers, 28 principals, and 530 students, totaling 753 individuals. Purposive sampling was used to select 28 secondary schools in Kisii South Sub County, from which six schools were chosen due to their use of ICT. Simple random sampling was then applied to select 59 teachers and 160 Form Three students, resulting in a total sample size of 225 respondents. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires for principals, teachers, and students. Qualitative data were analyzed narratively, while quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 24 and presented through frequency tables, percentages, and descriptive statistics. The study found that 77% of students demonstrated high technical competence. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology review and fully implement ICT integration in all public secondary schools. These findings are significant for the Ministry and contribute to the realization of Kenya Vision 2030.

    Effect of parents’ attendance in school academic meetings on students’ academic performance
    (International Journal of All Research Education and Scientific Methods, 2024-07) Gichana, Onchiri Evanson; Momanyi, Charles Ocharo
    The influence of Parents’ Attendance in School Academic Meetings on Students Academic Performance in Public Secondary Schools in Manga Sub County- Kenya is the main concern of this study. Students can excel well with close supervision and support of school administrators like principals, teachers, parents and other education stakeholders. This can be done in different ways. School principals and teachers occasionally invite parents as custodians of children in school to discuss students’ academic progress. This is majorly aimed at improving the results and the general behavior of the child. In many schools in Manga Sub County, it has been observed that the percentage attendance of parents in such meetings ranges from 32 percent to 48 percent. Majority of the parents do not attend such meetings. This has made it cumbersome for some school policies concerning improving the quality of education to be fully effective. The study utilized Kimberlé Crenshaw's conflict theory, which views human society as a collection of competing interests, relevant to the varying interests of teachers, parents, and students in education. This research adopted a descriptive survey design to describe the impact of parents' activities in school on academic performance. Stratified random sampling was employed to collect data from respondents. Data collection methods included questionnaires, observations, and interviews. Data analysis involved the use of percentages, means, and standard deviations, along with Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient to examine the relationship between variables. The findings were presented through pie charts, bar graphs, and verbatim reporting.
