Background:
The study aims to determine the effect of school rules and regulations on the pupils’ academic performance in Kibibi sub-county Butambala district,
Methodology:
The study was based on a cross-sectional survey design, with data being collected in October 2022 using questionnaires and interview responses from 108 respondents made of Headteachers, classroom teachers, and pupils. The data was eventually analyzed using summary statistics and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient.
Results:
The majority of the respondents were male with (51.9%) and female were (48.1%). The standard deviation is low or small of 1.2 also indicates that almost all respondents had similar views on the item school rules and regulations, still the majority of the respondents 56(66.7%) as compared to those who agreed 12 (11.1%), with having school rules and regulations 57(52.8%) and only 27(25%) agreed. As regards negative 61(57%) disagreed and only 22 (20.4%) agreed.
Conclusion:
The study established that school heads have a challenge of pupils who are not aware of the school rules and regulations much as they are given copies and therefore violet them. Many of the learners just dump them without reading through them to be able to get their real meaning a sign of lack of sensitization and awareness to pupils from school administrators.
Recommendations:
School rules and regulations need to be emphasized and given enough awareness to enable pupils to understand them. These will help to prescribe the standards of behavior expected of pupils and teachers. Pupils will learn to behave and so will the teachers.
