IMPACT OF FAMILY CONFLICTS ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND INTERPERSONAL

RELATIONSHIPS OF PUPILS IN PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN NAKURU MUNICIPALITY

ABSTRACT Today’s families experience problems like unfaithfulness, violence, child molestation, divorce
and separation. These problems experienced in families affect the children in those families. The
purpose of the study was to find out the impact of family conflicts on the academic performance and
interpersonal relationships of pupils in public primary schools in Nakuru Municipality. This study
employed the descriptive survey research design to determine influence of family conflicts in academic
performance and interpersonal relationship of the pupils under study. The target population of the
study was public primary school pupils in Nakuru Municipality which has 47870 pupils. The study was
carried out among pupils in class seven and eight in ten public primary schools purposively selected
within Nakuru Municipality. There were 899 boys and 1124 girls in the ten schools making the accessible
population 2023 pupils. The sample comprised a total of 384 pupils and 20 class teachers purposively
selected. Questionnaires, developed by the researcher, were used to collect data. Data was analysed
using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences [SPSS]. It was presented using frequencies, percentages
and cross tables because the data was descriptive. The study expected to elicit useful data on the effects
that family conflicts have on academic performance and inter personal relationships among pupils. The
study findings indicate that both pupils and teachers agreed to the fact that family conflicts affected a
pupil’s cognitive and affective growth. There was low class concentration if parents or guardians were
fighting, because the pupils were always thinking about the happenings at home. It was also established
that a majority of pupils did not share with their peers when their parents or guardians were quarrelling.
More female pupils were exposed to violence or abuse than the male. The study also revealed that
pupils who came from families where there was conflict did not relate well with their teachers. The
study also revealed that in most schools there were counsellors from whom pupils experiencing
problems could seek assistance. One of the recommendations made by the researcher was that the
schools and the Ministry of Education should consider training peer counsellors among the pupils so
that they can assist their fellow pupils. Another recommendation was that parents/guardians who
experience conflicts in their families should consider counselling options as soon as possible to avoid
negative effects on their pupils.
