Abstract

Sande D

Since the attainment of her independence in 1963, Kenya embarked on fighting three challenges that is; poverty, diseases and ignorance. Education is an important pillar in spurring positive strides towards development of all countries across the globe. This has seen most countries, Kenya not being an exception strive to achieve it for its populace benefit. The paper discusses on the challenges faced by informal private schools raging from poor management and leadership; poor remuneration and demoralization of teachers; lack of financial resources; and lack of collaboration among key stakeholders such as teachers, parents, students and the community. The paper thus concludes that these challenges are directly congruent to the existing poor conditions of the schools; and if corrected will create a serene environment for learning and better academic results.
