It is against this background that this study purposed to establish the influence of physical facilities on student academic performance in CDF built secondary schools in Rachuonyo South sub-County. The study objectives were: to establish the influence of science laboratory, classroom quality and computer laboratory on student’s performance at KCSE. The study was guided by Education Production Function Theory based on the input and output variables. Descriptive Survey and Correlation research designs were used. The study population was 42 principals of CDF built secondary schools and 1 sub-County Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (SCQASO) . The sample comprised 37 principals of the 37 secondary schools, and 1 SCQASO. Data was collected using questionnaires, interview schedule and document analysis guide. The instruments were validated for content and face validity. A test-retest correlation of r= .7 showed that the instruments were reliable. Descriptive statistics as well as linear multiple regressions were used in data analysis. The results of the study revealed that the three variables, science laboratory, quality classroom and computer laboratory (which are components of physical facilities) had weak but significant relationship with student performance in KCSE. The study recommended that the Government should provide requisite facilities to guarantee quality education in CDF secondary schools. These findings will guide the government on resource allocation to these schools.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Physical facilities, academic performance, Constituency Development Fund built schools, science laboratory, classroom quality, computer laboratory. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding [author.

In 2001 , the then United Nations Secretary General came up with a critically important initiative,“Education First” which sought to refocus the world’s  \nattention on the unfinished agenda of quality education for all. The emphasis placed on education quality is based on the premise that education promotes social equality and has strong links to reduction of poverty. It produces a more informed citizenry, it empowers individuals and enables them to become more proactive, gain control over their lives and broaden the range of  \navailable options (UNESCO, 1997) . Indeed, the government of Kenya has embraced education as a human right as quoted in the constitution under the economic and social rights. Education is therefore, one of the children’s rights in Kenya (GOK, 2010) and that this education must be of quality.  \nBackground of the study  \nBy linking educational access to quality from the very onset, the World Declaration on Education for All in 1990 duly acknowledged that meaningful development would only be realized when learning resulted from education provided. The focus of education now rests on actual learning acquisition and outcomes, rather than th","cbCaicBNzrVX5fC9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicBNzrVX5fC9","pdf",152714,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Background of the study","[{\"question\":\"Why was the study conducted on physical facilities and academic performance in CDF secondary schools?\",\"answer\":\"Because many candidates in CDF built secondary schools in Rachuonyo South sub-County obtained grades below the acceptable minimum quality grade, indicating concerns about educational quality and outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"Which physical facility factors were examined in relation to KCSE performance?\",\"answer\":\"Science laboratory, classroom quality, and computer laboratory were assessed as components of physical facilities affecting student performance.\"},{\"question\":\"What research design and analysis methods were used?\",\"answer\":\"The study used descriptive survey and correlation designs, collecting data through questionnaires, interview schedules, and document analysis, followed by descriptive statistics and linear multiple regressions.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Vol. 8(3) - Full Length Research Paper | PDF",1792070722,25]
