Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate school strikes in Central Division of Machakos District. A major justification of the study was that to date the problem of deviance rates has been largely concentrated among secondary schools. Whereas in the past, cases of school disturbances within Machakos District have been minimal, the last six months have registered an alarming high rate of school strikes, riots and other forms of school disturbances. These have led to deaths, injuries, destruction of property and a number of schools being closed indefinitely.The study was done in four (4) secondary schools within the Central Division of Machakos District. The sample included fifteen (15) teachers, foul' (4) principals and one hundred and twenty (120) students. Questionnaires and interviews were the two research instruments. The data was summarised and presented by use of tables anti was analysed in percentages and frequencies.
