Abstract:Performance in KCSE Examinations in Kenya is used as the basis of judging a student’s ability and a means of selection for education advancement and employment aspects, persistent poor performance in KCSE examinations in Lamu West Sub County  day Secondary Schools had raised great concern to students, teachers and stakeholders despite of the schools having similar academic facilities, infrastructure, leadership (administrators) and enrolling form ones within the same KCPE grade group and from the same catchment area with other secondary schools. In view of this discrepancy, there was need to determine how administrative factors may have influenced to the poor academic performance of students in the day secondary schools. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate the school based administrative factors influencing academic performance of students in public day secondary schools in Lamu West Sub County. The study sought to establish the influence of teachers and staff motivation on students’ academic performance in KCSE in public day schools in Lamu West Sub – County, Kenya. Teachers and staff motivation formed the intervening variable. The study was based on the input output system theory and organizational theory modelled on the social system concept to educational administration. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The study targeted all the 10 day secondary schools and all the 20 top two administrators, 1612 learners and 87 teachers. The study adopted a purposive sampling technique to sample 18 headteachers of participating schools. The researcher used questionnaires to collect data for the study. The questionnaires contained open ended and close-ended questions. Validity and reliability of the instruments was carried out through piloting. Piloting was carried out in Faza and Bwajumwali day secondary schools, 2 of the neighboring sub county day secondary schools in Lamu East Sub County that were not participating in the actual study. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of a statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25. Results of the data were presented in tables with supporting findings and recommendations. The findings indicated that most of the headteachers ways of motivating teachers and staff were inadequate in most of the day secondary schools in Lamu West Sub County.  The findings led to the conclusion that indeed teachers and staff motivation helps in improving students’ performance in KCSE. The study recommended that, teachers and staff should be motivated by the headteachers for them to work tirelessly and passionately. Headteachers should ensure that the staffs have an opportunity to develop personal and professional skills. This should be done by headteachers giving teachers a chance to attend appropriate INSET and other activities, delegating important responsibilities, inviting role models to talk to teachers, students and support staff, recognizing achievements and celebrating successes and rejoicing with stakeholders, organizing educational visits and tours, taking a positive and objective staff in recommended deserving teachers for promotion, paying attention to the general welfare and individual’s problem, ensuring the support staff enjoy similar recognition and reward as any other staff members in the school and supplying all the basic resources required to teach. The study suggested that similar studies should be carried out in boarding schools that have similar problem of poor KCSE student’s performance and compare the results in this study.

Many times it affects psychosomatically-emotional and the fact of neglect and child abuse. However, a large category is the mentally disturbed people who include autistic children. This problem is so peculiar and occurs in so many different forms and at such different levels that every effort that it aims to help is of particular value.

Abstract:The present study draws on the subject of my teaching experience as a teacher in the above minority areas and the teaching of Greek as a second language in the Pomaks of Western Thrace (Greek territory).
I will briefly refer to the particular linguistic characteristics of this minority population in the Balkans, based on the historical and geographical circumstances that shaped it, but also on the principles and necessity of teaching the Greek language in contemporary reality.
The issue of the Greek language in the region highlights the great importance that the Greek language now plays in the wider region of Pomak (Rhodopi area).
