Abstract
The world is a "mixed-grill" so to say. It is made of people with varied set-ups - geographical, racial, cultural, etc. Each specific community or country's way of life is mainly determined by what the local situation has to offer and the approach taken by the people to fit in. Further still, each person is expected to play their role in order to survive and to contribute towards the group's sustenance. For this need to be met and to be effective, it has been deemed necessary and important that a system of training through education be adopted to guide the individuals and society on what is expected of them and how to go about fulfilling it. This explains the different forms and types of education offered the world over informal, formal, non-formal. Whatever the form/type of education offered, it should be a diversified and all-round entity meeting the physical, mental, moral and spiritual needs of the learner. The emphasis of this thesis is on whether and how the spiritual aspects of the secondary school students are met, and the effects there-of. The area of concentration is Nairobi where thirty three sample schools are studied, with a "peep" being taken in two periurban schools in Kiambu District and four rural based schools in Kisii District for comparison purposes. Kenyatta University is used to determine the long term and post effects of religious aspects of secondary school life. In order to understand the category of people focused on, the characteristics and problems faced by the students are looked at and these are found to be determined and linked to their stage of development as well as the home, school, and social set-up. It is also recognised that society has high expectations of and for this category of people.
