ABSTRACT
A descriptive and quantitative study was undertaken to examine the impact of
religion on academic performance of the pupils in selected schools of Bibirioni
sub location.
The specific objectives that guided the study included, to find out whether the
pupils attendance is affected by religious practices; to find out if religious
upbringing affects the learners ability to participate fully in school activities, to
find out whether religion influences the children’s ability to interact; and whether
religious upbringing influences the learners ability to accomplish their tasks.
The researcher constructed questionnaires for the purpose of gathering
information from respondents. Findings revealed the following;
Religious education has beneficial effects to all aspects of social concern and
mostly to education; religious beliefs and practices lower divorce, abuse of
alcohol and drugs, domestic violence. Children who are brought up free of the
above will obviously excel in academics. Children who are brought up in religious
families finish their assignments just like any other children, religion is therefore
a great tool which can be used by parents to lay a firm foundation for education.
The following were recommended; parents and teachers and public to be
sensitized on the significant role of religion. That government should have
initiatives on helping the general community be able to identify religious
fundamentalism in the area. The ministry of education to emphasize on comprehensive teaching of religion.
