Underweight Children and their Enrolment in Pre-School Education in Kenya
Abstract
This study sought to determine the nutrition status of children in terms of
underweight and its relationship to children’s enrolment in pre-school education. Probability
sampling was used to get the sample size. The sample size for this study was 390 children.
The findings indicate that statistically, there is no significant relationship between nutritional
status in terms of underweight and enrolment in pre-school (p = 0.485> 0.05). This means
that being underweight is not related to enrolment in pre-school. The null hypothesis is
accepted.
