Background of the problem Business Studies is a very important subject, as it is an exact Business Education which deals with the way our Business communities operate as well as the Economic progress of the country, i.e. It is a live subject. it is studied in schools as either a compulsory or an optional subject. The current education system in Kenya is designed to achieve specific national goals. The recommendations of September 1981 saw the introduction of the 8-4-4 system. Kenya is aiming to fully be entrepreneurised by the year 2020. If this goal is to be achieved, it means better performance in Business Education, of which Business Studies is part and parcel forming the backbone of Entrepreneurship in the country. Even though Business Studies and its applications are so important in everyday life and in business activities, its performance in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) continues to be poor. It is matter of concern to both the government and the general public that few students select Business Studies and even those who do perform very poorly. Many people have done research in students’ performance and have come up with different possibilities that could be leading to poor performance. They have come up with suggestions on how to overcome the problem and it is not clear why up to now the situation has not changed. Most suggestions given by researchers appear not to be effective. Ways and means must be found to ensure that the parties concerned know where the problem lies.
