However,the national dropout rate of students in secondary schools in Kenya was 42,272 (7.8 percent) and retention rate was 419,608 (76.7 percent). In Seme Sub-County, the proportion of 16 and 17 year old without access to education was 2,257 (9.1 percent) of the total number of secondary school going age 5,883 (26.1 percent) dropped out without completing secondary school. The purpose of this study was determine retention and drop-out rate of students in public secondary schools in Seme Sub County. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. All the thirty (30) public secondary schools in the Seme Sub-County were included in the study.
