| dc.description.abstract | The rural schools have been losing learners to urban schools which placed them in danger of closing down. This study investigated the effect of learner migration in a rural school on learner academic performance at Lwamondo Circuit. This qualitative study collected data through interviews from teachers in five primary schools in the Lwamondo Circuit. The findings reveal that learners migrate due to lack of resources in schools, and the need to be taught English as a home language. Learner migration leads to multi-grade having a negative impact on learner performance. Learner migration leads to negative financial implications and results in the redeployment of teachers. To combat migration and enhance the academic performance of learners, the study recommends that stakeholders must be involved in the improvement of physical facilities in the rural schools, parents must be deeply involved in assisting their children and extra-mural activities must be introduced in those schools. The study concludes that if conditions are improved in rural schools, learners may not migrate to other schools. | en_US |
