Abstract

Throughout history, student activism and violence has been a major issue interpreted in various ways reflecting different ideological, social and political orientations. There is a general academic consensus concerning the empirical facts of increasing students’ violence in Kenya, however the questions about the causes of the increase has been more controversial. This study investigated the events leading to students’ violence in Kenyan secondary school. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population comprised of head teaches and teachers. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. Quantitative data was analysed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences software programme version 21. The study established that there are unique events that may lead to students’ violence and efforts to minimise them vary across the different schools in Kenya.
