The study recommended that; SST learning facilities should be provided by the government and other stake holders to enable teachers effectively use different teaching methods that can help learners understand and enjoy the subject. Teachers should be trained specifically for a subject he/she is good at and hence teach that particular subject and not teaching all the subjects as it was observed during the study. In relation to the above more teachers and classes should be provided to decrease on the class size which makes it difficult for teachers to effectively teach and also access all pupils. Teachers should be motivated by the government and school heads so that they are happy and hence effectively teach the learners.
