Abstract
The central purpose of this study was to analyze the plausible causes of rampant student transfers within public secondary schools in Bureti Sub-County, Kericho County, Kenya. The study was premised on Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Motivation theory that posits that while people aim to meet basic needs, they seek to meet successively higher needs of hierarchy. A descriptive survey research design was employed .Combinations of purposive and simple random sampling were used to select 15 principals, 60 teachers and 112 students yielding a total sample size of 187. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data. The study revealed that there were a myriad of reasons responsible for rampant student transfers that included parental influence, movement to schools of choice, dissatisfaction with teaching methods, indiscipline amongst students a, huge school fee balances, amongst others. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education as well as schools should closely monitor students who transfer to avoid negative influence as well as assist them to settle in their new school environments.[
