Abstract
Education is one of the most important processes that individuals undergo to bring about transformation at a personal, societal, country and international level. In Kenya, citizen's access to education enables the attainment of various milestones and eradicates challenges ranging from poverty, illiteracy and diseases. The important stakeholder is the student who receives, disseminates and puts into practice what he has learnt in school to the society. This paper provides a discourse on how different components such as psychosocial, environmental and parental background of students have been bedeviling their academic progress silently. The paper thus concludes that if any meaningful and productive learning has to take place in our schools, these grievances have to be addressed promptly and effectively.
