Abstract

Quality education entails proper implementation of the curriculum's formal, non-formal, and informal dimensions. Quality education is reflected in performance in national examinations, where private schools tend to outperform public schools in Kenya. This study aimed to identify ways of improving the quality of education in primary schools by examining practices in private schools that contribute to their better performance. A sample of 13 head teachers, 56 teachers, and 405 students from 45 private schools in Bungoma County, Kenya, was used. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis. The study concluded that ensuring sufficient teaching and learning resources, manageable class sizes, adequate staffing, teacher appraisal, and motivation are vital for improving the quality of education.
